If your ALDL pin "F" is the TC lockup status terminal, like with my 700R/4, connect the switch between pin F & pin A.

You can also connect a mini-LED in series with a 2.2 kOhm resistor across those pins to have a visual indication of TC lockup status; when the LED is lit the TC is not locked & when out the TC is locked.
