It stores the last stop-start setting you chose, so if you turned Auto Stop\/Start off on one drive, it stays off the next time you start the engine. It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions. Both ends are factory-style plugs, 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\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed applications (each row is a 100% fitment match for the factory connector this part uses):\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Cruze: 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor reference, the Chevrolet Cruze in these years is a compact sedan offered with 1.4L turbo four-cylinder engines, with a 1.6L turbo-diesel offered on 2017-2019 models. The listing is written around the second-generation (2016-2019) Cruze. 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 Chevrolet Cruze, Auto 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnecting it\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. 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\u003eStop-start saves the most fuel in long idles, but plenty of drivers would rather keep the engine running. 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. On a compact sedan, any of these can mean a button press at the start of nearly every drive.\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\u003eDiagnostics first\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the setting is not remembered, check that the module was installed with the ignition off and that the connector clicked into place. Then press the factory button once, switch the vehicle off, close the doors, give the electronics time to shut down, and start again. If it still resets, contact support with the year, trim and a photo of the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat changes after installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves no permanent change after removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLets you re-enable the system with the factory button at any time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds the stop-start button state between drives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves engine and transmission software untouched.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIf stop-start is not engaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Chevrolet Cruze that rarely auto-stops is often telling you something about the battery. 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\u003eCheck before you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel year and model match a row in the table above (2019 Chevrolet Cruze).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Chevrolet Cruze has the factory stop-start button.

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\u003eWhy the factory default is always on\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 Cruze resets to on, and why a memory module is the way to keep your own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTroubleshooting after installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting not remembered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check that both connectors are fully latched, then set Auto Stop\/Start the way you want it, switch the vehicle fully off and restart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStop-start indicator flashes or shows unavailable:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vehicle is reporting a condition such as low battery charge, high climate demand or a cold engine.

Both ends are factory-style plugs, so nothing is cut or spliced.\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\u003eWhich Chevrolet Cruze years does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed range is 2019. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.\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\u003eWill Auto Stop\/Start come back on when I restart my Chevrolet Cruze?\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 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\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Chevrolet Cruze?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\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 Cruze 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 Cruze 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\u003ch2\u003eWarranty and returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree standard shipping covers the contiguous US, with dispatch in 1–2 business days and 3–4 days on the road after that. You have 45 days to request a return (pre-approval required, 20% restocking fee, buyer-paid return shipping). The module is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
