From the research that i've done on it, you can use a 22k ohm resistor from key on power (fused of course) back to the computer. This tricks it into thinking that nothing is wrong thus disabling fail-safe mode. Then you use a good ground, through the toggle switch to ground the solenoid when you want the converter locked up. I have notes on it somewhere that I printed off a while back and of course anyone with more knowledge can correct me if i'm wrong. Putting the temp sensor in the pressure port might be an idea though.

Here are some links that I found on it. A little long but interesting reads.

I have yet to try it on my truck, I do have an extended wire that I made with the 22k ohm resistor in it though. I think that i'm going to try and tackle it this weekend. I didn't get a chance to get under the truck and check out that pressure port but i'll try to do that soon.
