I don't recall any car being needed to hooked up to the obdii scanner after a timing belt job. Perhaps honda just put that in there to check for codes.

How about you find a shop that specializes in engine work such as timing belts and see what they say.

My dad's 2004 Pilot need a timing belt. The honda dealer says $750 to replace it and the water pump and new fluids.

I called the toyota service shop where I like to have most of my maintenance done (they work on most models, not just toyota) and they said they could do it but there is a note in there that says it requires a hook up to a computer afterwards so it should probably be done at a Honda Dealer in case it would have to be towed after the procedure.

That step is not included in this writeup so I was wondering if it would be worth it to save probably $300 having the toyota dealer do it.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks.
