Scan the vehicle for stored codes, test the battery and confirm the system works normally with the factory button before installation. That baseline makes any later issue easy to pin down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical reasons to keep it off\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome owners only want stop-start off in certain seasons or on certain trips, such as towing a trailer or crawling through summer traffic with the A\/C working hard. Because the module remembers whatever you chose last, it works both ways: leave the system off for a week, then switch it back on with the factory button and it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery and charging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicles with stop-start normally use an AGM or EFB battery sized for repeated restarts. If you replace it, use the same type and size, and follow the manufacturer's battery reset or registration step where one exists. A wrong or unregistered battery can leave the stop-start system disabled, and that has nothing to do with this module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen the engine will not auto-stop anyway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven with Auto Stop\/Start enabled, the engine control logic only stops the engine when conditions allow it. Typical blockers are a low battery state of charge, an engine that has not reached operating temperature, heavy heating or A\/C demand, steering input, an open door or unlatched seatbelt, and some drive modes. If the system never seems to stop the engine, one of these is usually the reason, and the module does not change that logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment check\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel year and model match a row in the table above (2019–2023 Chevrolet Traverse).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Chevrolet Traverse has the factory stop-start button.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working.

A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure. That is why Auto Stop\/Start on the Chevrolet Equinox resets to on, and why a memory module is the way to keep your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery and starter on stop-start vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo cope with repeated restarts, stop-start vehicles normally carry an AGM or EFB battery and a heavier-duty starter, and the system watches battery charge closely.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working. If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number.

The listing is written around the second-generation (2016-2019) Cruze. Trim is not listed separately. Any trim in these years with factory stop-start and the pictured connector is covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the factory system does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Auto Stop\/Start active, the engine shuts off when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts when you lift off the brake or press the accelerator. The off button is a manual override for that drive only. Turn the ignition off and back on, and the system defaults to on again, so drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button at the start of every trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConditions the factory system checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven with Auto Stop\/Start enabled, the engine control logic only stops the engine when conditions allow it. Typical blockers are a low battery state of charge, an engine that has not reached operating temperature, heavy heating or A\/C demand, steering input, an open door or unlatched seatbelt, and some drive modes. If the system never seems to stop the engine, one of these is usually the reason, and the module does not change that logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnecting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions.

A battery that tests weak, a recent battery replacement that was not registered where the manufacturer requires it, or a fault in the battery current sensor can all disable the system. Clear up those issues before judging how the module works, because it cannot hold a setting the vehicle refuses to accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt leaves the factory button working, so you can turn stop-start back on whenever you want.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt remembers the last stop-start setting through a key cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt does not write anything to the vehicle's modules, and removing it restores the stock default.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt does not change engine power, transmission shifts, emissions calibration or fuel trims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA note on the battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module draws its power from the vehicle and does not change charging behavior. If your Chevrolet Cruze sits for long periods, the same rules apply as without it: a maintainer helps, and a battery that tests weak should be replaced with the type specified for stop-start vehicles (usually AGM or EFB).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy owners turn it off\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a compact sedan, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now.

When the battery reaches the end of its life, replace it with the same type and size listed for your vehicle, because a standard flooded battery is not designed for this duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe reason the button has to be pressed every trip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCar makers have a clear reason to make stop-start non-latching.

Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Chevrolet Malibu need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure. That is why Auto Idle Stop on the Honda Passport resets to on, and why a memory module is the way to keep your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat sits behind the system\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicles with stop-start are built for many more engine starts than a conventional car. They typically use an AGM (absorbent glass mat) or EFB (enhanced flooded) battery that tolerates frequent cycling, along with a strengthened starter. The memory module does not change any of that hardware. When the battery reaches the end of its life, replace it with the same type and size listed for your vehicle, because a standard flooded battery is not designed for this duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore you plug it in\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePark on level ground, shift to Park, switch the ignition off and keep the key or fob away from the vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead the included instructions for your model before removing any trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocate the connector named in the instructions and compare it with the plugs on the module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a plastic trim tool where a panel has to be eased out, to avoid marking the dash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress each connector until the lock clicks; never force a plug that does not line up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure the module with the supplied tie or tape so it cannot rattle or touch moving parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart the vehicle, set Auto Idle Stop the way you want it, switch off, restart and confirm the setting held.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGlossary\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e One switch-off and restart of the vehicle.

Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle.

Turning it off with the button only lasts until the engine is shut down.

If you replace it, use the same type and size, and follow the manufacturer's battery reset or registration step where one exists. A wrong or unregistered battery can leave the stop-start system disabled, and that has nothing to do with this module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical reasons to keep it off\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a midsize pickup, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now.

Typical blockers are a low battery state of charge, an engine that has not reached operating temperature, heavy heating or A\/C demand, steering input, an open door or unlatched seatbelt, and some drive modes. If the system never seems to stop the engine, one of these is usually the reason, and the module does not change that logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiagnostics first\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a \"stop-start unavailable\" or similar message appears, check the battery first.

When the battery ages, the system quietly stops auto-stopping long before the battery fails to crank.

A battery that tests weak, a recent battery replacement that was not registered where the manufacturer requires it, or a fault in the battery current sensor can all disable the system.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working. If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number. Manufacturers therefore make the system come back on at every start, and drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button each trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Auto Start-Stop come back on when I restart my Ford F-150?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot if you turned it off before shutting down.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

When the battery ages, the system quietly stops auto-stopping long before the battery fails to crank. Keeping the original battery type (AGM or EFB) and a clean, tight ground connection avoids a lot of confusion about why the system behaves differently from week to week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf stop-start is not engaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuto stop needs several conditions at once: a warm engine, enough battery charge, moderate cabin heating or cooling demand, and the vehicle fully stopped with the brake held. If any is missing, the engine keeps running. The module only remembers the button state; the factory controller still decides whether a stop is allowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere owners notice the difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a midsize pickup, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now. With the module, you press it once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf something does not look right\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a \"stop-start unavailable\" or similar message appears, check the battery first. A battery that tests weak, a recent battery replacement that was not registered where the manufacturer requires it, or a fault in the battery current sensor can all disable the system.

You can switch it off with the dash button, but the choice is not saved. The next ignition cycle brings the default back. The module keeps the choice you made instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstalling the inline memory harness\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions. Both ends are factory-style plugs, so nothing is cut or spliced. Work with the ignition off.

Because the module remembers whatever you chose last, it works both ways: leave the system off for a week, then switch it back on with the factory button and it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen the engine will not auto-stop anyway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuto stop needs several conditions at once: a warm engine, enough battery charge, moderate cabin heating or cooling demand, and the vehicle fully stopped with the brake held.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

Manufacturers therefore make the system come back on at every start, and drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button each trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat sits behind the system\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicles with stop-start are built for many more engine starts than a conventional car. They typically use an AGM (absorbent glass mat) or EFB (enhanced flooded) battery that tolerates frequent cycling, along with a strengthened starter. The memory module does not change any of that hardware. When the battery reaches the end of its life, replace it with the same type and size listed for your vehicle, because a standard flooded battery is not designed for this duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions after fitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory does not hold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Re-seat both plugs until the locks click, then repeat the restart test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Unavailable\" or flashing indicator:\u003c\/strong\u003e A factory condition (battery charge, cabin temperature, engine temperature) is blocking stop-start.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

Those checks stay in control after this module is installed. It does not force stops and it does not bypass any of those safety inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery notes for stop-start vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the stop-start indicator shows the system as unavailable, test the battery before anything else. On stop-start vehicles that is the most common cause. A replacement should match the original specification (AGM or EFB), and some manufacturers call for a battery monitor reset after the swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore blaming the module\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dead or weak battery, a charging problem or an unrelated module fault will change how Auto Stop\/Start behaves with or without this part installed.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working. If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number.

If the battery is weak, the vehicle will skip automatic stops on its own. The module leaves this hardware and its monitoring alone. Use the factory battery type when replacing it, and check the owner's manual for any battery reset step after replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe reason the button has to be pressed every trip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory behavior is tied to how fuel economy is rated in the US. A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure. That is why Auto Stop\/Start on the Chevrolet Blazer resets to on, and why a memory module is the way to keep your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Chevrolet Blazer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Auto Stop\/Start come back on when I restart my Chevrolet Blazer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot if you turned it off before shutting down. The module repeats your last selection at the next start. If you leave it on, it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Chevrolet Blazer years does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed range is 2019–2024.

If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change engine power or fuel trims?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers. It only stores the stop-start button state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Auto Stop\/Start turn itself back on every time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fix a \"stop-start unavailable\" message?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Chevrolet Blazer need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove it later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same part for every Chevrolet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Connectors and the module that holds the stop-start state differ by platform, so this SKU is matched to the fitment rows on this page.

The off switch (usually marked with an \"A\" inside a circular arrow) cancels it for the current drive. At the next start the system is armed again.

If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number. Manufacturers therefore make the system come back on at every start, and drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button each trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTerms used on this page\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e One switch-off and restart of the vehicle.

Stop-start vehicles usually run an AGM or EFB battery, and the system is one of the first features to drop out as that battery ages. Cabin temperature requests, engine temperature and brake pressure also factor in. None of these checks are altered by the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKeep the battery healthy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the stop-start indicator shows the system as unavailable, test the battery before anything else. On stop-start vehicles that is the most common cause. A replacement should match the original specification (AGM or EFB), and some manufacturers call for a battery monitor reset after the swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy owners turn it off\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a compact crossover, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now. With the module, you press it once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore blaming the module\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a \"stop-start unavailable\" or similar message appears, check the battery first. A battery that tests weak, a recent battery replacement that was not registered where the manufacturer requires it, or a fault in the battery current sensor can all disable the system.

Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Auto Stop\/Start turn itself back on every time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change engine power or fuel trims?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers.

The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my Chevrolet Equinox sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs.

A restart at every stop is noticeable in a three-row midsize crossover, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now.

Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Chevrolet Traverse need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my Chevrolet Traverse sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs. If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fix a \"stop-start unavailable\" message?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor.

A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure. That is why Auto Stop\/Start on the Chevrolet Tahoe resets to on, and why a memory module is the way to keep your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery and starter on stop-start vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop-start puts extra load on the battery and starter, so manufacturers fit an AGM or enhanced flooded (EFB) battery and a starter rated for more cycles.

Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Chevrolet Tahoe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

A restart at every stop is noticeable in a full-size SUV, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first.

Stop-start vehicles usually run an AGM or EFB battery, and the system is one of the first features to drop out as that battery ages. Cabin temperature requests, engine temperature and brake pressure also factor in. None of these checks are altered by the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTroubleshooting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dead or weak battery, a charging problem or an unrelated module fault will change how Auto Stop\/Start behaves with or without this part installed. Scan the vehicle for stored codes, test the battery and confirm the system works normally with the factory button before installation. That baseline makes any later issue easy to pin down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKeep the battery healthy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicles with stop-start normally use an AGM or EFB battery sized for repeated restarts.

A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure.

If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Chevrolet Suburban years does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed range is 2021–2026. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove it later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Auto Stop\/Start turn itself back on every time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same part for every Chevrolet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Connectors and the module that holds the stop-start state differ by platform, so this SKU is matched to the fitment rows on this page. Send the VIN to support if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fix a \"stop-start unavailable\" message?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change engine power or fuel trims?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers. It only stores the stop-start button state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Chevrolet Suburban need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I unplug it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle returns to the factory default, with Auto Stop\/Start switched on at every start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Chevrolet Suburban?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

The switch on the dash can disable it, but only until the key is cycled.

Those checks stay in control after this module is installed. It does not force stops and it does not bypass any of those safety inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery notes for stop-start vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost stop-start systems watch battery condition closely through a sensor on the negative terminal. When the battery ages, the system quietly stops auto-stopping long before the battery fails to crank. Keeping the original battery type (AGM or EFB) and a clean, tight ground connection avoids a lot of confusion about why the system behaves differently from week to week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstalling the plug-and-play memory harness\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced. Disconnect nothing else and splice nothing. Once both plugs are locked, tuck the harness where it will not be pinched when the panel goes back on. Test by switching Auto Stop\/Start off, cycling the ignition and checking the indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical reasons to keep it off\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a full-size SUV, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now.

Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my GMC Yukon sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs.

Typical blockers are a low battery state of charge, an engine that has not reached operating temperature, heavy heating or A\/C demand, steering input, an open door or unlatched seatbelt, and some drive modes. If the system never seems to stop the engine, one of these is usually the reason, and the module does not change that logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery notes for stop-start vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost stop-start systems watch battery condition closely through a sensor on the negative terminal.

The off button is a manual override for that drive only.

On stop-start vehicles that is the most common cause. A replacement should match the original specification (AGM or EFB), and some manufacturers call for a battery monitor reset after the swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy owners turn it off\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a compact crossover, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now.

Turning it off with the button only lasts until the engine is shut down. Owners who sit in stop-and-go traffic, tow, or idle in drive-throughs often prefer it off, and that is where the repeated button press comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBattery and charging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module draws its power from the vehicle and does not change charging behavior.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

Common reasons: towing or hauling, where an engine restart under load is unwelcome; drive-thru lines and parking lots, where the engine cycles on and off every few feet; hot days, when the A\/C compressor stops with the engine on many vehicles; and stop-and-go traffic where the restart delay is noticeable when pulling into a gap.

If a stop-start system is non-latching, meaning it switches back on whenever the vehicle is restarted, the EPA measures fuel economy with the system working. If the driver can switch it off permanently, the EPA tests with it both on and off and averages the two, which gives a lower number.

People who tow, plow, idle in pickup lines, creep through heavy traffic or simply want the engine running at a light end up making the same press dozens of times a week.

When the battery reaches the end of its life, replace it with the same type and size listed for your vehicle, because a standard flooded battery is not designed for this duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreparing for installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgnition off, transmission in Park, fob outside the cabin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructions for your exact model at hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector location confirmed against the photos before any panel comes off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA plastic pry tool for clips, if the connector sits behind trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth connector locks fully engaged after fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModule and lead fixed in place, clear of pedals, steering and heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest: choose your Auto Stop\/Start setting, turn the vehicle off, restart and check the indicator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTroubleshooting after installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoice is forgotten after restart:\u003c\/strong\u003e A plug is usually not fully home.

A stop-start system that comes back on at each restart is rated with stop-start active. A system the driver can leave off would be tested both ways and averaged, which lowers the label figure. That is why Auto Stop\/Start on the Chevrolet Colorado resets to on, and why a memory module is the way to keep your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions owners ask\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Chevrolet Colorado years does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed range is 2023–2026. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove it later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Chevrolet Colorado?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Auto Stop\/Start come back on when I restart my Chevrolet Colorado?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot if you turned it off before shutting down. The module repeats your last selection at the next start. If you leave it on, it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I unplug it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle returns to the factory default, with Auto Stop\/Start switched on at every start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same part for every Chevrolet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Connectors and the module that holds the stop-start state differ by platform, so this SKU is matched to the fitment rows on this page. Send the VIN to support if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change engine power or fuel trims?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers. It only stores the stop-start button state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my Chevrolet Colorado sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs. If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Chevrolet Colorado need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Auto Stop\/Start turn itself back on every time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fix a \"stop-start unavailable\" message?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does it connect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard shipping inside the lower 48 states costs nothing; allow 1–2 business days of handling plus 3–4 in transit.
