Yes it is the a Temp Switch, It closes at 280 degrees IIRC, It is a fail safe if the trans gets hot, The unit will lock-up in 4th gear no matter if the ECM commands TCC or not.

Eliminate the temp switch & wire it exactly like your second picture shows!!

Tech Tip....Take the Lead with the Black wires off the Temp Switch & Connect it to the 4th gear pressure switch. Cut out the other (Green/Tan) Temp Switch Lead.

Before you put the pan back on.....Test the TCC solenoid & 4th Pressure switch if you haven't already.
