Check:
To use only timer 1 in the 8/16-bit timer/counter in 8-bit mode, set the timer count clock
select bits (T2CS1 and T2CS0) in the timer 2 control register (T2CR) to a value other than

•
This bit activates or stops the counter.
•
Setting this bit to "1" from "0" clears the counter. If the timer is
operating continuously (T1STP = "0") at this time, the counter starts
operation to increment the count in synchronization with the selected
count clock. Writing "0" to this bit stops counter operation.
•
When the timer is activated (T1STP ="0" --> "1") in 16-bit mode, the
timer 1 and timer 2 counters are both cleared.
" in advance. Using it without setting the register in this way causes malfunction.
