Scion Woes

If your first-generation Scion xB won’t start, and if:

  • it has fuel
  • the battery is good
  • the fuses are okay
  • the code reader from AutoZone does not report any errors (seriously.)
  • it has no spark…

…then chances are you have a failed crankshaft position sensor.

Then after having your car fixed and a few weeks later you find it once again won’t start… your battery is probably dead.

And furthermore, car batteries do succumb to the natural law of warranties by failing 2 months post expiration.
