Hello! I want to share my fix of the timing belt reset switch in a hdj81 diesel cluster.
i was recently on a family vacation trip and my t-belt warning light tripped at exactly 200 001km's, the t-belt had been replaced by the previous japanese owner at 197k prior. I got the truck in canada at 197 800.
So basically, the reset switch would not work. I had to investigate and fix it.
The threaded part of the switch is broken.
I took a m6 and drilled in it using a 7.0mm drill bit. Then i used a M8x1.0 Tp to make threads to match the ones on the broken switch !
