hey i have a 2001 lexus gs 300 with about 82,000 miles. Ive been told by the dealership that i need a serpitine belt. They say its cracked. It does make a whistling noise when i first crank in the mornings. I intend to get it changed saturday. My question is my check engine light came on this morning. Could this be because of the belt need changing. I just had my oil changed. My timing belt is not recommened unill 90,000 miles. I checked the gas cap. I need to know is this something that i need to have them check out our will the light go out after the belt is changed.

Unless your belt is broken in 2 it would not set off your CEL (Check Engine Light.) I would suggest stopping at autozone and getting them to pull the codes for free - as opposed to paying Lexus $85 to do it.
Until you get the codes we can't tell you what is wrong with your car...
