Default Transmission Question

I added the B&M TCC lockup controller, but it does not seem to be working. I was under it looking at the transmission, suspecting the modulator. But I also noticed a metal tube that comes off the top of the transmission. Is this just a vent or something? I don't recall anything other than the vacuum line going to the modulator. Secondly can a modulator cause a Converter not to lock up? Or is it most likely the converter itself? It is an easy hookup so I doubt I got it hooked up wrong. And it does cycle on and off and the light turns green etc....something ain't right. Maybe this is the excuse I have to my wife to get the 700R4 ...

The tube is a vent. I have tghe B&M controller on my 200-4R trans and if it is turning on the green light then it is working correctly. Check the output wire, yellow, to see if you are getting the 12 volts DC to make sure.
