T-belt light on the dashboard 
Solved
Toyota Hilux 2008 84429 miles
When starting the engine, an indicator that says T-belt appears on the dashbord. After three seconds, it disappears. I know it is indicating that the timing belt needs to be changed but, on the cover of the belt says that it is at 90000 miles and I have just reached halft of that amount. Is it normal that the light appears at the moment of starting and then goes away? Or do I need to change the timing belt right now?

Yes, of course it is normal that the light turns on because, when placing the key on the ignition, the ECU checks all the system. Once you reach 90000 miles, it will remain turned on all the time, until you replace the timing belt and bearings. Be careful that if you do not know how to reset it, the light won't go away. Hope it helps you buddy.

CommentT-belt indicator Solved
Toyota Hilux 2004 290000 miles
Hi, a T-belt indicator appeared on the dashboard of my Toyota Hilux. I know that it has to do with the timing belt; the previous owner changed it at its 75000 miles and I changed it as well, just in case, at its 17000 miles. Right now, the vehicle has 180000 miles, and the light appears and the alarm does not stop sounding. I have read that it is necessary to reset it, should I do so and that's it?

You need to take it to the agency for the system on the computer to be modified manually.
