Default Yank SS3800 won't lock up

Recently, my converter doesn't lock while cruising at part throttle. Seems to lock up fine at WOT. What should I check first? Trans (electrical), trans (mechanical), converter, or something tune-related?

Look for low levels of misfire (need a scanner) as well as the
"TCC Mode" at cruise.

Tes you will need to look and see whats being commanded and of note unless you have changed the tuning in some way the converter should not lock at WOT. These type of issue are rarley the actual converter but rather some tuning issue as mentioned missfires are most comon

Thanks for the input. I'm waiting on a reply from Greenlight Motorsports who tuned the car.
