TCC not engaging

Okay here's the deal, I bought this camaro and the fans come on when the ignition is turned on. The tcc has never engaged. I believe this to be because the engine never reaches 190. So the end result is that the tranny is now toast. When I get my car back from the shop what should I look for when diagnosing the tcc problem? i.e. why are my fans hardwired to the power with the key on? What should I look for, a bad sensor or relay? If said relay or sensor is fixed and tcc still does not engage what now? I have skimmed a few post on the toggle switch method about total control of the tcc where it engages in 2 and 3 gear, will still engage in 4? Stupid question I know. My ADD is kicking in and I do not want to search through a millions threads at this time. A simple answer is all I can concentrate on right now. OK so I am lazy, just hook me up. Thanks. Peace out.

With key on (ignition power), Test terminal "A" on the connector. It should have 12volts
