Out of the factory, Stop \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Toyota Tundra models it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fitment table for this SKU lists the following, each marked as a 100% fitment match:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eToyota Tundra: 2022–2026\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the factory system does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the Toyota Tundra, Stop \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDay-to-day use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePressing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf stop-start is not engaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven with Stop \u0026amp; 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\u003eWhat changes after installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStores the stop-start choice you made last and repeats it at the next start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully reversible: unplug it and the vehicle returns to factory behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo tune, no reflash, no change to horsepower or shift points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps the original switch fully functional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKeep the battery healthy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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).\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 Stop \u0026amp; Start off, cycling the ignition and checking the indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf something does not look right\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.

It only stores the stop-start button state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Stop \u0026amp; Start come back on when I restart my Toyota Tundra?\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\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\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\u003eWhich Toyota Tundra years does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed range is 2022–2026. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I unplug it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle returns to the factory default, with Stop \u0026amp; Start switched on at every start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Toyota Tundra?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Toyota Tundra 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 my Toyota Tundra 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\u003eWhy does Stop \u0026amp; 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 Toyota?\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\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\u003ch2\u003eShipping, returns and warranty\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.
