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.

How to turn the ECT power light off on the dash?

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).


The ECT power light came on while driving a 2000 Toyota RAV4 how do you turn it off?

Are you serious? There is a button in many Toyotas with automatic transmissions called "ECT Power." There is a corresponding light on the dashboard that comes on when the feature is activated with the button. The button causes the engine to rev to higher rpm's before the vehicle shifts to the next gear. It achieves higher accelleration than you can get without it, while sacraficing something in the way of gas mileage and engine wear. Just push the button again to turn it off. It's probably on the front of your center console, depending on your model.

What is the ECT Button for on a 1999 Hyundai Elantra?

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.
