What is the ECT on a car?
1 Answers
ECT on a car refers to the transmission electronic control mode switch. When turned on, the car enters sport mode, where the engine's torque and fuel consumption increase. When turned off, the car switches to economy mode, reducing engine torque and fuel consumption. The ECT button is commonly found on Japanese cars, particularly Toyota vehicles. This system is known as the Electronic Throttle Control System, which offers three modes: Normal Mode, Sport Mode, and Snow Mode. Normal Mode is essentially the Economy Mode, where the car's fuel efficiency is higher, leading to reduced fuel consumption.
