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.
to switch to electric
You push the ECT PWR button (located left to the radio) to the "Off" position.
Push the button on the left side of the dash.
This indicates that the ECT button (next to the gear shift) is depressed, which prevents the transmission from going into 5th gear while climbing a grade. Pushing the ECT button will return the transmission to normal function and the PWR light will no longer be displayed.
You push the ETC button again to turn it off.
I believe the LX570, like the LS460, uses a hard drive to store the Map data and needs special equipment to load the DVD Update on to the hard disk. You probably will need a half hour installation service from your local Lexus dealer.
The "PWR" button allows the tranny to shift at higher RPMs & downshift quicker. Makes a big difference when passing on the highway. The "2nd" button makes the vehicle start in 2nd gear so tires don't break free in the muck or snow.
Well, as I've owned a Toyota Camry before, my advice would be to you, check for a button with "PWR" on it (usually near the gear shift). Most manual cars will have a "power" and "economy" mode in them. The "PWR" light on the dash probably means that you've got the vehicle in "power" mode. Find the button. Turn it off. Problem Solved :P Have fun!
because you turned it on. The Kia sportage has an econ button, if you push it the power button lights up.
I had the same issue with my PWR button, along with the rear wiper button not working correctly (... blew my ignition fuse in the main fuse box under the hood, Completely killed my wiring harness). Have a shop look at the wiring in the vehicle. However, the "PWR" button doesn't do anything but make the transmission shift at a higher RPM. And if you don't know, it pretty much just kills your gas mileage and makes the car a little faster.. The only time I've ever used it is when I need a slightly faster 0-60.
the power button on the side of the shift lever has been pressed. press it again & it'll go out.
