2010 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the starter motor on 2010 Scion xB?

  A: The removal process for 2AZ-FE starter motor begins with disconnecting the negative battery cable terminal. To begin the process remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly through connector disconnection of the mass air flow meter followed by hose clamp loosening and then air cleaner assembly clamp unlocking before cap removal. The next task is to take out the air cleaner filter element sub-assembly from within the air cleaner case sub-assembly. The next step for air cleaner case sub-assembly removal consists of wire harness clamp separation and bolt uninstallation of three pieces. The starter assembly procedure for manual transaxle demands users to disconnect terminal 50 connector from the starter assembly then remove the nut connecting wire harness to terminal 30 and finally separate the 3 bolts to remove clutch flexible hose bracket and starter assembly. Automatic transaxle requires users to disconnect terminal 50 from the starter assembly before removing the wire harness nut at terminal 30 and removing the 2 bolts with the starter assembly.
