What is ect power on a toyota tacoma?

ECT Power (Electronically Controlled Transmission power) is a feature available on a Toyota Tacoma that allows drivers to adjust the shift points of the automatic transmission for improved performance. When ECT Power is engaged, the transmission shift points are raised to provide quicker acceleration and more responsive performance. This can be particularly useful when towing heavy loads or driving in hilly terrain.

Drivers can activate ECT Power by pressing a button on the center console. The indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate to signal that the feature is active. ECT Power will remain engaged until the driver turns it off by pressing the button again or restarts the vehicle.

It is important to note that using ECT Power may result in decreased fuel efficiency, especially during city driving. It is recommended to use this feature only when needed for enhanced performance.
