Scion 2005-2006 Collision Repairs PDF Manual
Page 1 Scion, an affiliate of Toyota Motor Corporation, has three models available for 2006, the xB, xA, and tC. Scion is its own distinct line with the sophisticated vehicle construction technology that is associated with Toyota. This article highlights the information available on the Scion tC (see Figure 1). HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL (HSS) Parts of the body and structure, including the hood, doors, front rails, and inner door aperture, are made of high-strength steel (see Figure 2).
The heating recommendation for Scion vehicles is the same as for Toyota vehicles. Heat is not recommended on “body structural panels” because it will reduce the strength and corrosion-resistant properties of the metal. If cold straightening and cold stress relieving do not remove the damage, the part should be replaced. This information can also be found in Toyota Collision Repair Information Bulletin (CRIB) #143 and #87
ULTRA-HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL (UHSS) Bumper reinforcements and door intrusion beams on the Scion tC are made of UHSS. The UHSS that is used is a thinner gauge than the mild steel. When UHSS is heated, Toyota/Scion has found that the tensile strength is changed and it becomes more
brittle and susceptible to cracking. Therefore, Toyota/Scion warns against heating, straightening, or stretching during repairs. If parts made of UHSS are damaged, they should be replaced to help maintain their impact energy-absorption capacity.
When replacing the bumper reinforcement, coatings and spacers are used to help prevent corrosion and should be duplicated during repairs. Damaged fasteners should be replaced and torqued to specification. Information on bumper reinforcements can also be found in Toyota
Collision Pros, Winter 2004. To replace a damaged door intrusion beam, the entire door shell assembly should be replaced.
