Below the left Air Conditioner vent on a 2004 Tacoma.
holds first and second gear longer for more acceleration with button on, if you floor it then you've already defeated it's purpose.

Its near the gear....a button with ECT written on it...
You push the ECT PWR button (located left to the radio) to the "Off" position.
It means you have pressed the ECT button which changes the transmission shift pattern. Press it again to turn it off.
mine is a button on middle council, by emergency brake. says ect
makes you explode and you go in "turbo mode" aka ejector seat
press the button that says ECT PWR ON/OFF !! It's on the centre console (close to the gearstick)
ECT button allow you to switch between Power and Normal mode. Normal mode is more fuel efficient but not as responsive. In Power mode cars become more responsive but consume more fuel.
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.
extra gas.....thus more power.....like four wheel drive without the four wheels....suppose to feel it in the exceration....
