What does ECT installed in the car mean?
1 Answers
ECT installed in the car refers to the transmission electronic control mode switch, which can quickly increase the engine speed, but will significantly increase fuel consumption. It is mostly used during highway driving. When activated, the throttle feels more responsive and direct, with gear shifts typically occurring above 4500 RPM. When ECT is turned on, it operates in sport mode, providing increased torque but higher fuel consumption. When turned off, it switches to economy mode, which is more fuel-efficient. The ECT button is commonly found in Japanese cars, particularly in Toyota vehicles. This system is called the Electronic Throttle Control System and has three modes: normal, sport, and snow mode.
