2008 Scion xD Problems
Vehicles May Exhibit Multiple Electrical Issues When Exposed to Extreme Cold Conditions
Some vehicles may develop a condition where they cannot be shifted from "Park" to "Drive" and/or multiple warning lights illuminate when exposed to extreme cold conditions (-14 degrees F) or lower. Our technicians tell us the ignition (IG) relay should be replaced with an updated part to correct this concern.
Vehicles With Remote Start May Encounter a Dead Battery After Sitting For a Few Days
Vehicles fitted with remote start may encounter a dead battery after sitting for a few days. This can be due to a parasitic draw caused by the remote start computer. Our technicians remind us proper diagnostic procedures should be followed before replacing the remote start module with an updated part.
Extended Cranking or No Start Condition, and/or Illumination of the Check Engine Light
An extended cranking or no start condition, and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light with codes P0300-P0304 and/or P0015 may be noted. Our technicians tell us updated powertrain control module (PCM) software is available to correct these concerns.
Brief Knocking or Rattle on Cold Start Up
Some engines may experience a brief knocking or rattle on cold start up. Our technicians tell us replacing the camshaft timing gear assembly with upgraded parts will generally correct this concern.
1.8L Engines May Experience Excess Engine Oil Consumption
1.8L engines may experience excess engine oil consumption. Our technicians tell us updated software is available for the engine control module (ECM) to address this problem.
Abnormal Noise or Vibration on Acceleration
An abnormal noise or vibration on acceleration from rest or on gear shift may develop. Our technicians tell us a redesigned left side engine mount insulator is available to address this problem.
