Spoiler Delete Module

I ordered a new bumper from CBI. Apparently you need an electric module to tell the truck that the air dam is still there CBI has one for $151.20. Burger tuning has one for $29.00 burgertuning.com/products/front-active-spoiler-delete-jb4-add-on-for-2022-present-toyota-tundra

 

You must have the JB4 for this plug to work...it is simply a plug for the JB4 to get power and the CAN data needed for the JB4 to function...

As this point in time, there isn't an available module to delete the Front Active Spoiler...

I've been told that on certain model years, presumably 2023 and 2024, you do not need a module to keep DTCs from appearing...

 

2023 here. I had mine unplugged for over a week and no DTCs appeared. I know others on here have had the same experience. I would definitely try to protect the connector/wires from water intrusion if I were to leave it disconnected long term.

 

Thanks I did not realize you need a $500 module to make this work

 

Thank you for somewhat of a confirmation...I need to unplug mine on my early 2022 build and see what happens...

I do believe that the TRD Pro has a factory plug protector installed, but I'm not 100% as I haven't been able to find a part number for it...

 

It actually keeps your OBDII port from needed to be utilized by the JB4...

 

My '24 doesn't seem to mind that I took the spoiler off.

 

I have a 24 and disconnected it and got the error message.

 

Mine's a '24 SR5 and I get the error message when I disconnect the front spoiler connector. I currently have the spoiler motor sitting inside the winch cavity of the front bumper solely to keep the motor connected to avoid the error messages.

 

This is probably the best option as of now if you don’t want the error. Some bumpers include a relocation solution.

 

Can you remove the actual spoiler while keeping the motor connected and not get an error message, or how does the TRD lift kit deal with this? Do you have the instructions for the TRD lift kit?

 

That's what I am currently doing. The motor is connected and I don't get the error messages. But the spoiler has been removed. I assume that the motor sits in there and actuates when it normally would, but it is not connected to the spoiler, so it is not accomplishing anything when it actuates.

Although I will say that after I installed my front bumper and secured the spoiler in the winch cavity I tried to actuate the motor by doing the winshield wiper arm thing (or whatever it was - I can't remember now), and I couldn't get the motor to do anything. Whereas prior to removing the spoiler I was able to get the spoiler to actuate using the service over-ride. Not sure what that is about. Maybe it senses that the spoiler is not there and won't actuate?

 

Perfect thank you.

Mine is a 2024 SR5 Off-road and got the error message on the display. Boy it is very annoying and has to be constantly cleared. CBI told me they had issues with the module and are redesigning it. Not sure what the issue was/is. They likely won’t have any for months. Anyone find a solution other than putting the motor back in without the air spoiler? My dealer said they cannot reprogram it because there is no way for them to do it. Do they just not know how?

 

After my trd lift installed I noticed that motor is still there plugged in and would really like to get it out of there. Especially when I upgrade the bumber at some point. I'm hoping there is a cheap easy option to pull that junk out. I'm just assuming it will push a code when unplugged.

 

Weird that some experience the error while others don’t. I’ve completely removed my spoiler and motor and haven’t received any error after a couple of months. I ordered the CBI delete module but thinking I should cancel the order since it appears I don’t need it.

 

I have the CBI module but plugged it in while doing the bumper install so idk if I actually needed it. No errors though.
