Searched and couldn't find anything. What does the PWR button mean on my 99 Lex GS300? I pressed it, the ECT PWR light came on the dash. Performance seemed exactly the same as with it off. The shifts seemed somewhat harder tho. What does this button do please? Thanks for your patience.

wont really notice anything actually except maybe a decrease in gas mileage due to the higher shift point

This isn't a fact, but I feel like it is makes it's a lot more prone to down shift quicker to achieve what the throttle request of it. I'm not saying the shift itself is faster, I just think when the button is pressed it will seek to down shift rather than stay in the gear and accelerate.
