Hi Stellar, The ECT PWR button in your vehicle stands for “Electronically Controlled Transmission Power.” When activated, this feature adjusts the transmission’s shift points to provide more power and responsiveness.

ECT power mode increases engine revs by adjusting the power band, which helps prevent the car from lagging.

Electronically Controlled Transmission The ECT button in Toyota cars turns the electronic controlled gearbox on and off. This transmission system uses hydraulics to actuate the clutches and bands, which are controlled by electronic solenoid, which simplifies the vehicle’s transmission while giving more advanced control.

With ECT, automobiles offer more complicated control methods. Not only does it monitor the vehicle speed and throttle position, but the transmission controller can also monitor the engine speed when the brake pedal is pushed but the anti-lock braking system as well.
