I have a 2011 TSX with 102k miles. I got code A14. I’m familiar with the A1 . However, I’m wondering about the “4”. The dealer tried to tell me that this is a timing belt change and the cost will be $2200. I know this car doesn’t have a . My question is does the “4” indicate that the timing change or supporting components (sorry, I’m not very technical here) need to be replaced? Or do they just need to be inspected? Or is this an indicator about spark plugs and not my timing chain at all?

Thanks for looking.

 

do you have the four cylinder or the six?

 

four cylinder. sorry, I should have mentioned that.
