While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

2011 Scion xB Drivetrain Service

Your xB’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Scion, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2011 Scion xB to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Scion's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Scion xB Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2011 Scion xB drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Scion could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.

So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Scion xB doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2011 Scion xB? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
