The ECT button on 4 runners stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission. Pushing this button disengages the control and changes the way the transmission handels loads. Like speeding up the motor on hills sooner when you have a load. Normal operation is to let the ECT control things. So button should always be off and no light on the control panel should be on.
I would suspect the same with the snow button except it will engage so it wont send too much power to quickly to the wheels. Thus helping eliminate spin of the wheels on slick surfaces.
The "ECT Snow" button on a Toyota Highlander adjusts the vehicle's transmission settings for improved traction in snowy or slippery conditions. When activated, it modifies the throttle response and shifts the transmission at higher RPMs to prevent wheel spin. This feature helps enhance stability and control when driving on snow or ice-covered roads.
The Highlander is a sport utility vehicle made by Toyota since 2000. The ECT button near the gearstick is a electronically controlled transmission snow mode, which means when engaged this mode will start the vehicle slowly to avoid wheel spinning in bad weather especially snow.

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)
holds first and second gear longer for more acceleration with button on, if you floor it then you've already defeated it's purpose.
