ECT stands for electronicly controlled transmission. normally the tranny is controlled by valves and oil preasure and stuff, but when ETC is enabled, the comptuer has full control of it.
its basic functions are: holds the gear longer and keeps the torque converter unlocked for a longer time, meaning the engine doesnt have to work as hard to accelerate, but your gas milage will drop a tad
