questions about dash lights and stuff on 2nd gen.

So,

since my "new" 2nd gen is more "new to me" than "NEW" i have some questions about the various buttons and electric gizmos may, or may not be working on my t4r

My questions are;
1. am I supposed to be able to roll down the rear window with the key from the outside or does the rear glass only move with the button in the cab?

2. what does the little green button next to my shifter do? when i push it I see a light on my cluster say "ECT Power" I can only assume that this means some manner of change in the cam. timing? the writing that is next to the button has been rubbed off so I am at a loss.

3. the "Rear Anti-Lock" light is consistantly on. does this mean that my anti lock system doesnt work or is it some manner of error code? I have done the redneck test, and from what I can tell, my butt dyno tells me that on a dirt road the rear anti-lock seems to be working.

my t4r came with no manual so I am at a loss on that front.


thanks in advance,

Muppet

You should be able to roll the window down with the key.

It changes the shift points in the transmission. Lower fuel economy, but zippier. Stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission.

Yes something in the system is wrong. But I cant help with this one. Never owned a yota with ABS.
