Fitment is the point here: this service and repair manual is written for the 2016 Scion iM specifically — the 1.8L four (2ZR-FAE) and the transmission your car was built with — so the torque values, clearances and service intervals you work to are the ones that apply to this exact year rather than a close approximation borrowed from another.
Engines
- 1.8L l4 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Known issues on the 2016 iM. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it is filed against the tires: an incorrect label may result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. It was issued by Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) and covers certain 2016 Scion FR-S, iM and TC vehicles alongside several Toyota models. Owners have filed 17 complaints for the year and Scion has issued 31 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are verifying load ratings and tire pressures, working through a transmission service interval, or chasing a fault one of those bulletins already documents, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2016 iM.
