People with automatics will know the ECT-s switch. So, what are people's view on this.
Basically, all I know is when i switch it on. My car seems to pull harder and probably drink a heap lot more fuel too. SO, do you guys just leave it on while driving or only when it is "needed". Anyone done a test on how much difference in fuel consumption between switching it on and off? |

use american automatics have the ect and over drive button combined into one. Overdrive is essential the 4th gear on the automatic.
ECT is electronic controled transmission.. what it does it it monitors engine load and throttle positoin to select which gear to be in.. with ECT off.. you would have to mash the pedel to the floor before it will down shift. With ECT on, you can push the throttle half way and it will down shift. This helps when you are going up hill, and you dont want to floor itl you turn on ECT and drive like normal, the tranny will select which gear is best depending on engine load. |
