What is a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Control Unit Connector?

How do I determine if my Tire Pressure Monitoring System Control Unit Connector is faulty?
To determine if your Tire Pressure Monitoring System Control Unit Connector is faulty, you can check for any visible signs of damage or wear-and-tear. You can also check to see if the connector is properly connected to the TPMS and the control unit. If the connection is loose, the connector might not be working correctly.
