2023-2026 GMC Canyon Auto Start Stop Eliminator | Plug & Play

Fits the 2023–2026 GMC Canyon. The plug-and-play memory harness remembers the position of the stop-start button between drives, so the engine no longer shuts off at the first red light after every restart unless you want it to. 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.

What the factory system does

On the GMC Canyon, 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.

Before blaming the module

A 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.

A note on the battery

The module draws its power from the vehicle and does not change charging behavior. If your GMC Canyon 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).

Where it connects

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. Work with the ignition off. Seat each connector until its lock engages, then secure the module with the supplied ties or tape so it cannot rattle or touch pedals, steering parts or anything hot. Start the vehicle, press the stop-start button once, then restart to confirm the choice is held.

Scope of the module

• Keeps the original switch fully functional.
• Stores the stop-start choice you made last and repeats it at the next start.
• No tune, no reflash, no change to horsepower or shift points.
• Fully reversible: unplug it and the vehicle returns to factory behavior.

Day-to-day use

Some 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.

If stop-start is not engaging

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.

Check before you order

• Model year and model match a row in the table above (2023–2026 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.
• The connector at your install point matches the one in the product photos.
• 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.
• If you are unsure, send your VIN to support@automotivebypass.com and we will confirm fitment.
