2008-Present Scion xB: My power steering went out

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 17:37:14 -0700

I was in a hit and run accident the other day and my car was hit on the driver side door/fender. I drove my car back to my friends house to drop him off as soon as he got out of the passenger seat the airbag light for his side came on on my dashboard and my heat went out instantly. As I was driving my car the next morning my power steering went out and my blinkers no longer work. I connected the computer device to my car to see what code came up and I got the P0705. My dad wiped the codes from my dashboard twice. I set my key in the ignition to ACC for 10 minutes. Power steering came back but shut off immediately right after and then check engine light, traction control and my airbag light came back on. Do I have to replace just the TCM or the ECM?? Or both?

2008-Present Scion xB: Aux to usb female for Bluetooth?

Sat, 13 Jul 2019 07:16:30 -0700

I'm trying to get Bluetooth in my xb but I don't need to upgrade my stereo. I just want to be able to play music, not make phone calls, etc. Has anyone tried an aux to usb female cord and a Bluetooth dongle for this? If so, has it worked? I know I can't use a Bluetooth dongle in the usb port itself.

2008-Present Scion xB: Why does the rpms get high when changing gears?

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:07:55 -0700

I have an automatic 2012 with 108,000 miles. On cold start, car sometimes will have a high idle, but not too bad. The main problem is that the rpms get high when I shift gears. I've taken the car to 3 mechanics and they can't find the solution. There's no air leaks. Throttle body, throttle position sensor and mass air flow sensor replaced. I've had mechanic do a tune up, oil change and I got new battery. Transmission place told me the transmission is good, that it shifts hard because of the high rpms. I don't know what else to do. Thanks.

2008-Present Scion xB: My traction control light comes on on the freeway.

Thu, 29 Aug 2019 06:05:52 -0700

My scion is acting strange. On the freeway, at certain speeds, the traction control light comes on, and I lose speed. I try to give it more gas so I can keep up with traffic and it shifts hard and starts speeding up, and the traction control light shuts off. The Traction Control light is only on when this happens, and doesn't always come on when I lose power. Today the light came on while I was changing from one freeway to another(never got below 45 mph) and it tried to pull me into the other lane. I am a heavy truck technician, but I have never seen anything like this.
