And to check the connectors I stick a paper clip in the pin and test that, no?

No don't do anything with the pin fitment right now, do your voltage checks and continuity checks and see what you get. If it comes down to having to check pins, I'll explain that in more detail later, you already did a continuity check the revealed an issue, so we need to pinpoint that problem before anything, the missing voltage is what the code is for. Do not damage any pins with a paperclip.
Do you live in an area where they use a lot of salt on the roads during wintertime? Fuse boxes in the engine compartment suffer a lot of corrosion being exposed to the elements, so those circuits need to be checked.

No, I live in Long Beach California and my car isn't rusted. But how will I check the TCM harness pin or transmission pins for continuity if I can't reach them with the leads? They are too big to fit and touch the metal inside. Plus, this is what my TCM connector looks like pin 49 shouldn't be like that I think.

How do I test those? There are incredibly small.

That pin 49 is the main Ground. You're not able to just touch the tip of the multimeter lead to any of those pins?
When testing and for example, the harness plug needs to be plugged in to read a voltage signal, back probing the connector with a pin is the other option, you very gently slide a T pin in the back of the connector alongside the wire you need to test. Sometimes the connector lock needs to be removed from the connector. There are weather seals on each wire, so you need to slide to pin in just alongside the wire not damaging the seal, and just far enough in that the pin stops going in straight. Then check that there is reading on the meter to make sure it is contacting the pin on the inside of the connector.
This is a diagram I made up to show an example of back probing a connector.

No, they are too thick. The pins are too far back.

It's just impossible with the transmission one too.

Look back up, I have a diagram I made showing how to back probe a connector.
And what are you seeing wrong with pin 49? Does it look spread compared to the flat pin that it connects to?
That transmission connector will definitely need to be back probed, those are extremely small pins, those are the ones that worry me. They are so small, if there's the slightest spread in the female pins it will never connect with the transmission.

Okay, but how would I do that with the TCM harness? It has a whole plastic back I see doing it with the transmission one but the TCM one?

It is like lower than it should be it's like misaligned. It's just the only thing I've seen slightly not right.

Can you show me the rest of the connector? Sometimes they may need to be taken apart somewhat.

Okay, that blue cover will come off, I'm trying to find the diagram of it, sometimes you have to pull the grey latch back to its lock position and it make expose the tabs to remove it. I take them off all the time, they need to remove for testing when plugged in, It's just a search trying to find the instructions to getting it off.
As for pin 49, if you can find something that is the same thickness as the pin that fits in that cavity, you can do a drag test on it. If that Ground has a loose pin, it can cause that code. Just look at the TCM pins to see how thick that pin is, It does look like it might be a little loose.

Ill see if I can find the instructions on taking that blue cover off, unless can you fit a regular pin inside of the TCM connector smaller pins? Just nothing that has to be forced it, you only need to make a light contact with those female pins to get a voltage reading. Even a sewing pin might fit.

Find something the same thickness? That connector is so unique. That seems extremely difficult. I feel like I'd have to destroy the new TCM I bought to find the same thickness and use the pin from the new TCM and saw through it.

I tried a sowing pin but I was getting a reading like it was.40 etc, I couldn't get a good reading and I tried other female pins and roughly the same reading.

No don't do that, get the blue cover off the back and back probe the connector, do that first and let's make sure that 12volts is getting to that pink wire. This code is for the TCM Ignition wire. Try a sewing in in the front and get a voltage reading on the pink wire. We'll deal with the results after.
In these situations, you have to be creative, this is what it takes if you're going to fix your own vehicles.
Do you own a scan tool? If you do, what kind is it, can it communicate with other modules besides the engine computer?

So, I tried to get a voltage reading on the female pin with my sewing needle and it didn't read anything it was 0 but I tried the pin to the right it had 12 volts and the one to the left of it didn't read any volts either. That was with the DC current with the black lead on the negative terminal of my battery with the key on.
