2013 Scion xB Service and Repair Manual

Fitment comes first here: this manual is written to the 2013 Scion xB as it was actually built, from the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) to the transmission your car left the line with, so the specifications and procedures you work to are the ones published for this exact year and build rather than close-enough figures pulled from a neighboring model year.

Engines

• 2.4L l4 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

• Automatic Trans
• Standard Trans

Known issues on the 2013 xB. Three recalls are on federal record. Two of them cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. One of those lists certain 2013 Scion xB alongside other Toyota and Lexus models; the other lists certain 2014-2015 Scion xB alongside other Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The third covers the hydraulic service brakes, on certain TRD brake kits sold as an optional accessory: failure of a brake hose will reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 18 complaints for the year and Scion has issued 64 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether the job is a brake hose replacement, an air bag system inspection or a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct figure for your 2013 xB.
