What does this sensor do?

I've noticed that this sensor is only on the Auto FC's so therefore must have something to do with the Auto tranny...but the question is what do it do!!

May have something to do with the kick down switch.

It's a vacuum switch. It ensures the torque convertor lock-up only comes on at low load (high manifold vacuum).

It won't do anything without the stock airbox.
