It's one of several causes for no TC lockup.

Why do you suspect the speed sensor isn't working?

well I did some work on it today
and it was the brake peddle that was causing the problem

the peddle was not returning all the way and it was making the brake lights stay on
so I fixed that and it fixed the TC lock up problem
the brake is connected to the shift control and will disengage the TC lock when you hit the brake
