What does the car ECT mean?
1 Answers
Car ECT refers to the transmission electronic control mode switch. When turned on, it activates the car's sport mode, which increases torque but also fuel consumption, making it more suitable for highway use. When turned off, it switches to the car's economy mode, which is more fuel-efficient. More related information is as follows: 1. ECT: The ECT button is mostly found in Japanese cars, with Toyota being the most common. This system is called the Electronic Throttle Control System. It has three modes: normal, sport, and snow mode. The normal mode is the economy mode, where the car's fuel efficiency is higher, and fuel consumption is reduced. 2. ECT mode is a rapid acceleration mode: Similar to a sport racing mode, it can quickly increase the engine's RPM. When activated, the throttle feels more responsive and direct, and the gear shift timing is usually above 4500 RPM. 3. When the ECT switch is turned off: The transmission switches to standard mode, where the shift logic is determined by the actual road conditions and the driver's intentions.
