holds first and second gear longer for more acceleration with button on, if you floor it then you've already defeated it's purpose.
where is the ect pwr button located on a 1997 avalon? the light came on and my husband assumed he must have pushed a button by mistake.
Its near the gear....a button with ECT written on it...
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
Below the left Air Conditioner vent on a 2004 Tacoma.
makes you explode and you go in "turbo mode" aka ejector seat
press the button that says ECT PWR ON/OFF !! It's on the centre console (close to the gearstick)
Are you serious? There is a button in many Toyotas with automatic transmissions called "ECT Power." There is a corresponding light on the dashboard that comes on when the feature is activated with the button. The button causes the engine to rev to higher rpm's before the vehicle shifts to the next gear. It achieves higher accelleration than you can get without it, while sacraficing something in the way of gas mileage and engine wear. Just push the button again to turn it off. It's probably on the front of your center console, depending on your model.
ECT button allow you to switch between Power and Normal mode. Normal mode is more fuel efficient but not as responsive. In Power mode cars become more responsive but consume more fuel.
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).
According to the Toyota's owners manual, 'the etc. power button is used for powerful acceleration. Whereby the transmission is shifted up and down at a higher vehicle speed than when in the normal switch position. It is used when the overdrive switch is on.'
