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!

What does the ECT button on an Toyota do?

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.

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.
