• Q: How to install the Starter Motor for a manual or automatic transaxle on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: Installation of the manual transaxle starter assembly requires fixing it with the clutch flexible hose bracket through 3 bolts where Bolt A needs 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf) torque and Bolt B should have 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). The wire harness needs to be connected to terminal 30, then the nut needs to be installed and terminal cap needs to be placed with a torque of 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). The starter assembly requires connection to the terminal 50 connector as the final installation step. To install the starter assembly for an automatic transaxle use two bolts fixed at 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf) while connecting terminal 30 by installing a nut and attaching the terminal cap with 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf) followed by connecting the terminal 50 connector. Three bolts holding the air cleaner case sub-assembly must be tightened to 7.0 Nm (71 kgf-cm, 62 in-lbf) before attaching its wire harness clamp to the sub-assembly. The installation of the air cleaner filter element sub-assembly should be followed by the air cleaner cap sub-assembly that requires locking and tight hose clamp installation. To finish the installation process you need to connect the mass air flow meter connector followed by cable attachment to the negative terminal with 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 47 in-lbf) torque.
