That is the button that changes the shift points and hold points on your transmission gear shifting. pwr is for more aggressive driving. down shifts quicker and holds the gear longer in the rpm band before shifting to the next gear....or leave it off for normal driving for economy.

You push the ECT PWR button (located left to the radio) to the "Off" position.
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.
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?
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.
mine is a button on middle council, by emergency brake. says ect
IAT= intake are temperature sensor ECT= engine coolant temp. sensor
Its near the gear....a button with ECT written on it...
It Means Swagg Bro
extra gas.....thus more power.....like four wheel drive without the four wheels....suppose to feel it in the exceration....
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
Toyota has developed a new automatic transmission, called the A341E. This transmission employs a unique engine and transmission integrated intelligent control system named "ECT-i", and a high performance "Super Flow" Torque Converter. It can also be the abbreviation for the engine coolant temperature sensor.
