2022-2026 Toyota Tundra Auto Start Stop Eliminator | Plug & Play
Product function
Made for: The 2022–2026 Toyota Tundra. All rows in the fitment table are marked 100% fitment match. In these years the Tundra is a full-size pickup offered with 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrains, most of the driving it sees is towing, job-site hauling and daily driving. No trim split is given, so check for the factory Stop & Start button and compare the connector photo.
The reason behind it: The reset comes from US fuel-economy testing rules. If drivers could leave it off, the EPA would average on and off results, giving a lower rating.
Connection: It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced. The original connector is reused.
Confirm first: Check the year against the fitment rows and look for the Stop & Start button. Compare your connector with the product photos. Vehicles with added remote-start or security modules should be confirmed with support.
Core function: Stop & Start normally resets to on at every key cycle. The plug-and-play memory harness remembers your last choice and sends it again when you restart. Turning it back on is the same button press, and that choice is stored as well.
Shipping, returns, warranty: No-cost standard shipping in the contiguous United States (handling 1–2 business days, transit 3–4). Pre-approved returns are accepted for 45 days, with a 20% restocking fee and customer-paid return shipping. The part has a 3-year limited warranty. Fitment questions go to support@automotivebypass.com (Mon–Fri, 9–5 PST); include the VIN.

Description
A plug-and-play memory harness for the 2022–2026 Toyota Tundra. Out of the factory, Stop & Start comes back on at every key cycle. This module remembers your last choice and sends it again at the next start. It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced.
Nothing is reprogrammed in the engine computer. The module only stands in for the button press you would otherwise make after every start, and it comes out without leaving a trace.
Which Toyota Tundra models it fits
The fitment table for this SKU lists the following, each marked as a 100% fitment match:
- Toyota Tundra: 2022–2026
For reference, the Toyota Tundra in these years is a full-size pickup offered with 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrains, most of the driving it sees is towing, job-site hauling and daily driving. The listing is written around the third-generation (2022-up) Tundra. Trim levels are not split out in the table, so confirm that your vehicle has the stop-start button before ordering.
What the factory system does
On the Toyota Tundra, Stop & Start shuts the engine down at a stop and fires it back up as the brake is released. 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.
Day-to-day use
Pressing the same button on every drive is what wears on owners. 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. On the Toyota Tundra, the module turns that into a one-time choice you can still change whenever you want.
If stop-start is not engaging
Even with 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.
What changes after installation
- Stores the stop-start choice you made last and repeats it at the next start.
- Fully reversible: unplug it and the vehicle returns to factory behavior.
- No tune, no reflash, no change to horsepower or shift points.
- Keeps the original switch fully functional.
Keep the battery healthy
The module draws its power from the vehicle and does not change charging behavior. If your Toyota Tundra 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).
Installing the plug-and-play memory harness
It 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 Stop & Start off, cycling the ignition and checking the indicator.
If something does not look right
A warning light that appears after installation usually means a connector is not fully seated. Switch the ignition off, reseat both ends until the locks click, and test again. If the light stays on, remove the module and confirm the vehicle is fault-free on its own before contacting support.
Check before you order
- Model year and model match a row in the table above (2022–2026 Toyota Tundra).
- Your Toyota Tundra has the factory stop-start button. Base trims or engines without stop-start have nothing for the module to remember.
- The battery and charging system test good and no warning lights are on.
- No aftermarket remote start, alarm or gateway bypass is wired into the same circuit. If one is, email support before ordering.
- The connector at your install point matches the one in the product photos.
- If you are unsure, send your VIN to support@automotivebypass.com and we will confirm fitment.
Shipping, returns and warranty
Standard shipping inside the lower 48 states costs nothing; allow 1–2 business days of handling plus 3–4 in transit. Returns need approval first and must be requested within 45 days. Approved returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee, with return shipping paid by the customer. A 3-year limited warranty applies. Email support@automotivebypass.com (Mon–Fri, 9–5 PST) with your VIN if you want a fitment check.
Questions & Answers
Does it change engine power or fuel trims?
No. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers. It only stores the stop-start button state.
Will Stop & Start come back on when I restart my Toyota Tundra?
Not 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.
How does it connect?
It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced.
Will it fix a "stop-start unavailable" message?
No. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.
Which Toyota Tundra years does this fit?
The listed range is 2022–2026. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.
What happens if I unplug it?
The vehicle returns to the factory default, with Stop & Start switched on at every start.
Does the stop-start button still work after installation on the Toyota Tundra?
Yes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.
Does my Toyota Tundra need the factory stop-start button for this to work?
Yes. 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.
Does it change how the battery is charged?
No. 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.
Why does my Toyota Tundra sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?
The 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.
Why does Stop & Start turn itself back on every time?
Automakers 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.
Is this the same part for every Toyota?
No. 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.
Can I remove it later?
Yes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.
