Question about 4runner transmission
2000 4runner sr5, auto, 2wd.
I was just wondering about the gears.
I have 'L' '2' and then Drive.
I was wondering what the 'L' and the '2' were for?
I put it in 'L' today and the rpm's shot up but I was only going around 30mph.
Also I noticed the 'ECT' button.
Was wondering what this feature was for and the benefits.
Any info would be great.
Thanks

Here are your answers,
L = Limits auto tranny to first gear only, thus your rpms went up quickly.
2 = Limits auto tranny to 1st and 2nd gears.
ECT Power = Electronically Controlled Transmission will change shift points to hold each gear longer for maximum acceleration.
O/D Off = Prevents auto tranny from using overdrive/ 4th gear in a 3rd gen
Drive = Normal operating mode allows tranny to choose from all 4 gears for current operating conditions. This is the setting you should use 99% of the time.

Kinda of a goofy question, but here is you answer:
P=Park
R=Reverse
N=Neutral
2=2nd
L=Low or 1st
The ECT button holds the transmission in gear a bit longer-longer shift points
