I'm off of warranty by about a year and 2,000 miles. About a month ago, my xB began having an uneven idle and major loss of power. The dealer said it was the wire harness. I've contacted my local dealer and Scion Customer Care. They've agreed to reduce the cost of the repair to $500. I still think that's too much if this is a known issue that is happening to so many people.

I know my car falls under this VIN range for the engine harness... Something I expect down the road... (Isn't that sad?).
I am at 70K and still nothing (knock on wood). I did have my ABS/Trac/ESC lights come on one time, but I cleaned the contacts on the rear speed sensor clips and it went away and never came back. I plan to take more precautions this winter to avoid salt from destroying them more. Never had the CEL though. Right now I am fighting with the SRS light... Taking to dealer next tuesday to replace the entire airbag harness. $1185 repair. Toyota is covering half (so far, trying to get more) and will cost me $600+tax. Scion Corp is supposed to call em back tomorrow regarding my case and if they will cover even more. What is with all these dang faulty harnesses in this car? Seriously! |
Probably made in China like everything else now days.

Its crazy tosee how many issues there have been with these XB's. There should be some kind of recall. I just bought this 2008 xb and found issues with these codes P0778, C1201, C1241 with loss of power when taking off and a hesitation when shifting sometimes. The dealer wants to replace the whole wire harness and solenoid b $1687.40. I was thinking of starting with my plugs and coils. Another mechanic said he would diagnose and just replace the shorted wires. I'm sorta ____ed but I need this vehicle.

After my 08' XB started running hard the other day, intermittently misfiring, with the Check engine light on, I took it to Auto Zone to read the codes. The VSC off, and traction control lights were also on. This is what came up: P0353 -Ignition Coil C Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction P0351 -Ignition Coil A Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction A friend of a friend replaced the spark plugs with new iridium plugs and reset the codes. Three days and 150 miles later, all of the same lights reappeared. (VSC off, Engine light, traction control light) However, at the time, it didn't seem to be misfiring or running any differently. I then took it to Advanced to see what codes would appear. This is what it read: C0205 - Left front speed sensor C0210 - Right rear speed sensor C1201 - Engine control system malfunction C1238 - Foreign object iis attached on tip of right rear speed sensor C1241 - Low or high power supply voltage P0353 - Ignition coil "C" primary/Secondary circuit malfunction After some research, I found that Toyota was offering a limited Service campaign "B0K" with an expiration of 10/31/2014. I was never notified about this issue. I've received other recall information by mail concerning the power windows, but received nothing concerning this coil replacement campaign. Am I SOL? It's Sunday and I'm trying to brainstorm ideas before contacting Scion's Customer Service on Monday. Any help would be appreciated. |

Could this be a harness issue?
I ended up having an electrical diagnosis done by a guy that does electrical trouble shooting. He found it to be the transmission internal wire which would have never detected by Toyota, as well as the shift solenoid 2. Once he diagnosed the problem, I took it to a mechanic that only did transmissions. Have not had a problem since. I hope this help. Good luck! |
