Hello everyone,
I am looking for some detailed information about the timing belt light I have on my HDJ80 (1HD-FT). I am pretty sure the timing belt was changed within the last 2 years on my 80, and just yesterday the t. belt light came on. I know it is not that big of a deal to change it. What I am wonder is how this is triggered to come on, it is tension on the belt that changes enough to trigger it, or is is a mileage calculation and after so many miles it comes on, or maybe it is a change in valve timing that the computer can pick up on thinking timing belt needs to be changed. I am out of town so I have not had access to my manuals to look it up. Anyone know for sure how this works on a 1HD-FT
Thanks,
Michael
