my runner is a 99 sr5 and im tryin to find out what the button does.....

 

i love my manual. it tells us every thing we should know about our vehicle.

 

?....

 

mine is auto

 

Do you have an owner's manual?

 

i dont think so

 

Electronic Controlled Transmission. When it's on it'll make the transmission hold on to each gear a little longer before shifting. Let's you wind out your rpms a bit more. Doesn't make a big difference by any means. Feel free to leave it on all the time if you like it or never, it doesn't matter.

 

thats what i figured. i tryed it but i couldnt tell a difference maybe cause of full widths and 36s?

 

I use to have a second gen and it's kinda like the same green button they have on the center console (I think that's where it was). I call it my mini shot of NOS haha. The only time I ever use it is when I'm in a situation to raise my rpms real quick. Ex: switching lanes in a tight spot, going up a steep hill, merging on the interstate trying to beat that 18wheeler, some offroading, or running from the police while you're under the influence of alcohol and cocaine and transporting 3 mexicans across the border (ok I made that last part up) Needless to say, I don't use it very much.. just when I have to

 

hahahahaha

 

I use the ECT button when passing and going up hills too. For hills, it's better for the tranny to not keep shifting gears all the time (it holds onto a gear longer), or if you don't want to turn overdrive off.

 

ill try it ^^^^

 

I use mine to launch missiles at the idiots in front of me. I wish.

 

o me to ! i have the rear defrost buttom for rear missiles

 

so its not "exterior control system" which electricutes anyone who touches it like the guy i bought it from said?

 

haha!! great ideas! Now we just need a button for smoke screen, oil slick, and those spikes that come out of the wheels to pop other people's tires!

 

smoke screen is hazards, oil slick is tap the brakes three times and for spikes you lock your window and hit roll down on the back window... DUH

 

I just had the same question and figured I'd use the search function instead of starting a new thread. Huh...Search actually does work... Thanks!

 

My wife calls it "Etcetera Power". Quite fitting.

I use it in the mountains, especially when heavily loaded.

 

Sense I'm on one tons, 37s, and stock gearing, mine is always on. Haha
