The ECT stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. In the Normal mode you get better efficency and greater mileage. In the Power Mode the transmission shift points are change to allow for more power, at the expense of mileage. Only use the ECT when you are hauling a heavy load or going up an incline.

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).
