ECT means Electronically Controlled Transmission. I have a 1994 Lexus GS 300 and its located SW of the Drive Gear. Its a black switch the that can be switched to normal or power.
this button changes your gear ratios in your lexus. it allows you to accelarte faster. but it also tanks on gas. like 15 miles per gallon
The Highlander is a sport utility vehicle made by Toyota since 2000. The ECT button near the gearstick is a electronically controlled transmission snow mode, which means when engaged this mode will start the vehicle slowly to avoid wheel spinning in bad weather especially snow.
It sounds like something to with air conditioning. The ECT button on 4 runners stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. Pushing this button disengages the control and changes the way the transmission handels loads. Like speeding up the motor on hills sooner when you have a load. Normal operation is to let the ECT control things. So button should always be off and no light on the control panel should be on. I would suspect the same with the snow button except it will engage so it wont send too much power to quickly to the wheels. Thus helping eliminate spin of the wheels on slick surfaces.
Hi, it stands for "Electronic Control Traction". You can adjust your transmission/traction for "snow" for better control in snow, "PWR" for more powerful and faster acceleration. It is best and most economical to leave them off if you don't need either.
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.
The ect power button lengthens gear ratio and gives a bit of extra power

Its near the gear....a button with ECT written on it...
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).
