What ect pwr light on 1999 Toyota Rav 4 mean?
The PWR ECT changes the electronic shift points of the vehicle auto transmission/gearbox provide more power/torque and less economy. How it does is to hold each gear to a higher RPM. For example when you drive normally with PWR ECT turn off the vehicle auto transmission/gearbox would change/shift the gears from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd at 3000 RPM. When you drive with PWR ECT turn on it will change/shift the gears at 4500RPM.
What does ect pwr mean on the dash of Toyota lucida?
The ECT PWR, is a so called Extra Power feature. When in fact the car does not produce more HP, but rather changes the shift timing. In fact when ECT PWR is on, the shift is delayed allowing more power to be put to the wheels before the car shifts to its next gear. This is more of a sport function, which in turn i find makes the car more enjoyable to drive, however fuel consumption is increased, and if you are really stomping on the accelerator, your transmission may endure more abuse and wear from this. However i personally drive with the ECT PWR function on. Hope this answers your question! Josh
