    It’s for the Toyota security system I believe. It was for the notification that the truck is armed.

    If truck is equipped with auto trans, it is the ECT button.changes shifts. Forget what it actually stands for.

    Electronically Controlled Transmission. "Power" mode uses higher RPM shift points for improved acceleration with a load or on incline. A lot of people on here have said the leave their switch set to Power all the time. I don't, as my opinion is more RPM = more engine wear. Like any moving part, the more cycles it performs, no matter how well lubricated, it will wear more.

    The tach isn't standard on some base models:

    Bad Idea/dangerous to paint steering wheel air bag?

    Note: I am talking pre Tacoma’s 89-95

    I think Jamesboy2233 might have meant an AT with no tachometer?
