Not quite, especially with the 74. Not quite as in, yes you eliminated the NSS as the cause. No in that you can't conclude its OK by checking the voltage at the relay.
To check the NSS, remove the connector from the NSS switch. With the selector in P or N, measure continuity (or resistance) between the exposed NSS prong and the transmission casing. IIRC its the middle prong but check on that.
