Every clearance, torque value and test procedure in the 2008 Scion xB service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim, so what you look up is what Scion published for the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) and the transmission actually sitting in your car, not a figure carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2008 xB. Nine recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator rupture or explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. Three more cover load carrying capacity modification labels that do not meet the standard requirements; a driver may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. One covers the hydraulic service brakes on cars fitted with the optional TRD brake kit, where failure of a brake hose will reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. One covers the hood hinge and attachments on cars equipped with the sports grill option, where during vehicle operation this could obstruct the view of the driver and possibly cause the hood to strike the roof or the windshield, increasing the risk of a crash. The last covers the power window devices and controls: if the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire. Owners have filed 424 complaints for the year and Scion has issued 56 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are testing a power window master switch, inspecting a brake hose or working a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2008 xB.
