    Does anyone know of a way to have the ECT on at startup? The dealership said the only way is to delete and rewrite the program which Toyota will not allow them to do.

    There's no way the New Rochelle document can be right. @BlueT says our transmissions will fall out if we drive with it on. :bananadead:

    I already tried that but it only works on the first startup cycle. And besides, my wife wanted it back.

    If you have the button on and turn it off does it default to being off again next time you drive?

    The Ect button will not stay on after you shut the vehicle off. You will have to turn it on every-time you start up your car.
