It should indeed stand for Electronic Controlled Transmission. It will basically make the transmission delay shifting until the engine revs higher, giving you a bit more power. There should also be a button on the gear selector itself that probably turns on and off the overdrive, as described below. Of course the problem with running your car in ECT mode, means you will be using more gas. This is either the Overdrive button or the Traction Control button. On this car, I think this stands for Electronic Controlled Transmission, which means it turns the overdrive on an off. While traveling at 50 mph push the button. If you hear and see the engine rpms go up on the tach, this is the overdrive button.

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.

What is the ect button on 1999 Toyota Avalon?
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.
