The ECT PWR, is a so called Extra Power feature. When in fact the car does not produce more HP, but rather changes the shift timing. In fact when ECT PWR is on, the shift is delayed allowing more power to be put to the wheels before the car shifts to its next gear. This is more of a sport function, which in turn i find makes the car more enjoyable to drive, however fuel consumption is increased, and if you are really stomping on the accelerator, your transmission may endure more abuse and wear from this. However i personally drive with the ECT PWR function on.
Hope this answers your question!

Nobody knows what you mean by the word "certain".....Please check your spelling.. What does it look like,what's it next to,,,ect...
You push the ECT PWR button (located left to the radio) to the "Off" position.
mine is a button on middle council, by emergency brake. says ect
Push the button on the left side of the dash.
ECT stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. When you push the button in, there should be a light on the dash that says "ECT POWER". This changes the normal shift times (based on engine vacuum, rpm, and throttle position) to a later point. This means simply that the engine rpms will go higher before shifting to a higher gear when you're accelerating. It helps build speed more quickly but uses more gas to do so.

It Means Swagg Bro
Its near the gear....a button with ECT written on it...
extra gas.....thus more power.....like four wheel drive without the four wheels....suppose to feel it in the exceration....
Should be a button by the emergency brake opposite of the tailgate window roll down button. 1997 4runner...that's mine. Press the ECT switch on the console. From familyzoo My 4 runner is a 92 and the button is just below, and between , the shift levers, between the seats. Push it to reengage the ECT. Light on means the ECT is no longer engaged. Jonathon Press the button that is clearly labeled "ECT". When you want to accelerate quickly, press it again (so the light on the dash is illuminated).
press the button that says ECT PWR ON/OFF !! It's on the centre console (close to the gearstick)
Sirs I own an 2000 Toyota RAB4 and my ECT PWR light just came on, what do I need to do? is it ok to keep on driving it? or? Thanks Carlo Bello
