Ect
#2
Holds the gear longer, improves acceleration moderately, uses more gas, but not much more....I mean, how could it? Your 4Runner will be sorta almost kinda peppy if you turn off O/D and hit the ECT button....

It stands for "Electronic Controlled Transmission". But yeah, it just changes the shift maps a bit to squeeze a little more power out of the engine. You shoulnd't notice much of a difference around town unless you have an extremely heavy foot. It really just changes things when you romp on it.

If you want an example to see how this works, try and lug it just a little in O/D, then with your gas pedal in the same position, push in the ECT button (to "power"), and the tranny will kick out of O/D into 3rd.

And yet another example...
Try driving down the road in O/D, then, with your left foot, press the brake pedal lightly. You will feel the TC come unlocked. Kind of a weird sensation. Its electronically activated/deactivated with the brake also.
