Serpentine belt problems

Serpentine belt: It is made up from a material similar to rubber that allows certain engine parts to come into contact with each other and makes them spin. Some of them are the alternator, the hydraulic power steering, and the water pump.

Intermittant engine management light.

Toyota Corolla 2002 Corolla 46000 miles
Hi, my engine management light comes on whilst driving maybe once a week. Then goes off after I restart car. I have had the camshaft sensor replaced as this is what the fault code was signalling. However, the light still comes on but not so often as before. I have had many different diagnosis from garages /mechanics (without seeing the car). I have been advised to get the serpentine belt changed, timing chain slipping, wiring fault or sensor is misplaced. Can anyone shed any light without me having to spend a fortune please? It is a vvt-i petrol engine. Thank you

You should erase trouble trouble codes after the job is done
