2023-2025 GMC Canyon Auto Start Stop Memory Module | Plug & Play

If your GMC Canyon turns Auto Stop/Start back on every time you start it, this plug-and-play memory harness solves that one problem: it remembers the last setting and restores it at the next ignition cycle. Coverage is the 2023–2025 GMC Canyon. 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 factory button stays in place and still works. Press it and the module stores the new choice. Unplug the module and the vehicle goes back to stock behavior.

Vehicles and years covered

The fitment table for this SKU lists the following, each marked as a 100% fitment match:

• GMC Canyon: 2023–2025

The listing is written around the third-generation (2023-up) Canyon. Trim is not listed separately. Any trim in these years with factory stop-start and the pictured connector is covered.

What the factory system does

The factory logic arms Auto Stop/Start every time the engine starts. 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.

Conditions the factory system checks

Auto 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.

Installation and removal

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. Because it is plug-in only, removal is the reverse: unplug the module and reconnect the factory connectors directly. Keep the original clips and trim fasteners if you remove a panel to reach the connector.

What the module does and does not do

• Leaves engine and transmission software untouched.
• Lets you re-enable the system with the factory button at any time.
• Leaves no permanent change after removal.
• Holds the stop-start button state between drives.

Where owners notice the difference

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 GMC Canyon, the module turns that into a one-time choice you can still change whenever you want.

A note on the battery

Most 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.

If something does not look right

If 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. Clear up those issues before judging how the module works, because it cannot hold a setting the vehicle refuses to accept.

Check before you order

• Model year and model match a row in the table above (2023–2025 GMC Canyon).
• Your GMC Canyon has the factory stop-start button. Base trims or engines without stop-start have nothing for the module to remember.
• No aftermarket remote start, alarm or gateway bypass is wired into the same circuit. If one is, email support before ordering.
• The battery and charging system test good and no warning lights are on.
• 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.
