Everything in the 2006 Scion xB service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you, the 1.5L four-cylinder (1NZ-FE) as Scion built it for 2006, so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic trees you follow are the ones published for this car and not figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2006 xB. Eleven recalls are on federal record for this model year, and they fall into three systems. Five cover exterior lighting: combination corner, bumper and headlamp assemblies sold as replacement and aftermarket lamps for these cars were not equipped with the required amber side reflectors, which decreases lighting visibility to other drivers and leaves the vehicle poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a crash. Three cover vehicle speed control: Rostra cruise control units fitted through Gulf States Toyota and Southeast Toyota may carry a faulty module, so the throttle does not return to idle the first time the on/off switch is pressed and only does so on the second press, and failure to release the throttle when the cruise control is turned off could result in a crash. The remaining three cover labeling: the cars were sold without the requisite load carrying capacity modification labels, so a driver may overload the vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 299 complaints for the year and Scion has issued 23 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether the job is a cruise control fault, a headlamp assembly inspection or a scheduled service interval on the 1NZ-FE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2006 xB.
