Uhhh 4th AND overdrive? Did one switch just lock up the converter or is it gear splitting?

Maybe this guy explains it better.

This guy thinks TCC lock up is "overdrive".

I'm still confused at the end of the video where he shifts it with the shifter. What is the point of the switches if the shifter works?
I believe he goes back to 2nd gear to start all over depending on speed. It's a bit unclear. Here you go... maybe this will help?

Maybe If you run in 2nd this uses the manual 1-2 band and then you get 3rd and 4th with the solenoids, but I don't know how is this different than putting the trans into OD and JUST using the solenoids? Maybe the manual 1-2 is stronger?

Laziness seems to be the reasoning for the switches over manual valve body. Put in into 2 and flick the switches.
