I think the question might refer to the switch near the transmission gear selector. If so, it stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. Basically it just gives you some more power. I believe that it delays the shifts until a higher RPM is reached. Of course this only relates to an automatic transmission, and it will probably decrease your miles per gallon.

What does it mean when ECT PWR light comes on for '99 Avalon?

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but on the 1996 model, when you puch the ECT (electronically controlled transmission) button, the light comes on and your gear shifting ratio changes to a more "high-performance" mode (if that's what you call it!). Does that help?

What is the ECT button for on the center console for 99 elantra?

It provides a little more power by changing the transmission shift times to a more aggressive setting. For instance if in normal mode it may shift at 3,500 rpm. With the ECT in power mode, it would probably shift at 4,000 rpm or 4,500 rpm. Setting the ECT to power will however lower your gas mileage.
