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.
In a 1997 Toyota RAV4, the ECT (Electronically Controlled Transmission) button is typically located on the center console, near the gear shifter. It may be labeled as "ECT" or "ECT Power." Pressing this button activates a mode that enhances engine performance for better acceleration and response.
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.
In a 2002 Toyota Tacoma, the ECT (Electronic Control Transmission) button is typically located on the gear shift lever. It may be labeled as "ECT" or "ECT Power." When activated, this button enhances transmission performance for better acceleration by adjusting the shift points. If you're having trouble locating it, consult your owner's manual for a diagram or more specific information.

Below the left Air Conditioner vent on a 2004 Tacoma.
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.
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.
In a 2001 Toyota 4Runner, the ECT (Electronic Control Transmission) button is typically a small rectangular or square button located on the center console, near the automatic transmission shifter. It may have the letters "ECT" printed on it, and it can be illuminated when activated. The button is usually black or gray in color, blending in with the console's design. When pressed, it engages a mode that enhances engine performance for better acceleration.
According to the Toyota's owners manual, 'the etc. power button is used for powerful acceleration. Whereby the transmission is shifted up and down at a higher vehicle speed than when in the normal switch position. It is used when the overdrive switch is on.'
