AnswerYes, the ECT stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. In the Normal mode you get better efficency and greater mileage. In the Power Mode the transmission shift points are change to allow for more power, at the expense of mileage.

According to my Tacoma 2003 Owners Manual, the function of the "ECT PWR" switch / button is located in chapter 'Operations of Instruments and Controls' under the Automatic Transmission section and is quoted as follows:

"(i) Driving in "POWER" mode (four-wheel drive models and Pre Runner)

In the "POWER" mode, the transmission is shifted up and down at a higher vehicle speed than in the " NORMAL" mode and a more powerful acceleration is achieved. To set the "POWER" mode, push in the driving patter selector button. The POWER mode indicator light comes on.

For ordinary driving, Toyota recommends using the "NORMAL" mode to improve fuel economy."

It would appear that the power mode would be used when towing something or on a difficult incline.
