Problem overview

Some Scion xD owners report experiencing starter issues where the starter fails to disengage after attempting to crank, which can be attributed to several potential causes. These issues may arise from a bad starter that leads to continuous engagement even after the engine has started. Additionally, a faulty starter solenoid can result in improper disengagement, causing the starter to keep running. Defective wiring or connections related to the starter may also contribute to this problem. Furthermore, damage to the flywheel can prevent the starter from disengaging properly, resulting in continuous engagement. It is crucial for owners experiencing these issues to diagnose the specific cause to determine the necessary repairs or replacements.
