No problem, This way is fine. You can take the oil cap off and see the cam , Have someone crank the engine over and see if you can see it turning. That is an easy way to tell if the timing belt is broken. Also remove a spark plug and put it in the wire and see i9f there is spark. These can have distributor problems as well as timing belt breakage issues. IOf you have a compression gauge you can check if the belt is broken as well. These engines are fairly simple So fixing them isn't usually a big job.
If you have a scan tool Check the code and tell me what it is that will help point us as what to check as well.

Ok, Lets start with checking the code that turned the light on. Most auto part's stores will loan you a scan tool.

If you didn't reset the light or disconnect the battery the code should still be in the memory .
