I tried this with the Matrix. Grounded the TC lockup solenoid. Worked for about 10 seconds until a code came up for "TC solenoid circuit". So I devised a brilliant scheme to disconnect the TC solenoid circuit and switch it to a resistor to simulate the proper circuit load, while powering the TC solenoid separately (all with a bunch or relays and whatnot). This worked for about 11 seconds until the ECU saw the turbine speed equal to engine speed and threw a code for "turbine speed unexpected". I gave up. It can probably be done properly, but I don't have the skills for that.
