In the Australian Manual, it says that the ATF temp sensor, "Detects ATF temperature. This signal is used for inhibition of Lock up, release of OD and detection of ATF temperature."
So it looks like it unlocks the converter, and shifts it back to 3rd. A bit different to the End Wrench description.

I am awaiting a reply to my direct question but the above is interesting.
If the signal unlocks the torque converter, surely this will result in the opposite of a reduction of heat within the trasmission. Shifting back to third will surely not offset possible heat generation by the converter, which several here have pointed out, could be a major culprit. We still do not have an answer as to what has been suggested.
