Operate Windows without Starting Engine?

Is there an option to get the windows open or closed without turning the truck on.

I like to sit in the truck with the radio on and I can’t leave the door open because the door chime is too annoying and I tried tapping the b-pillar switch to turn off the chime but that does not seem to work on my truck.

2018 Tacoma
Canada

 

If Push button start hit it two times without foot on brake.

 

Tapping the engine start button twice does not stop the door chime or let me open the windows.

Could it be that the truck being a Canadian model, this is not enabled?

 

The door chime you will have to deal with unless you can get a copy of techstream to turn off. Pressing the start button twice should put the truck into accessory mode with the radio on and window control, try pressing it slower perhaps?

 

I have an H key, so I take advantage of the timer... cycle the ignition on, then into accessory. The Body Module will allow the windows to open or close for some weird time of 37 seconds or something. As long as a door doesn't open and shut off the timer. When I need to adjust the windows, I just quickly cycle the ignition again to restart the timer. The radio doesn't even shut off or reboot.

 

Press the start button twice, but DO NOT step on the brake. This will put the truck into accessory mode and give you the power to roll down the windows.

 

You nailed it, I must have been tapping the button too fast. When I do it I can lower the drivers window works and the truck is in accessory mode.

Thanks for the help!

 

Yes. The PTS takes slow taps. But, you are not in Accessory after two taps. You are Ignition On. That will drain the battery a bit faster, so be careful.
