Timming belt light is on with 37,000klms on the clock?SORTED

Hi Guys
I took my ute to the dealer today cause the T-BELT light came on while driving during the day,,,,,My ute now has just over 37,000klms on it and the dealer has never seen this before????? The light is set to come on at 150,000klm interviles.

I have been told it is not a warning light just a reminder light but its got me and the service guy at toyota stumped.The only mods behind the dash i have done is the alarm buzzer on the water/feul seperator and the key buzzer is unpluged from the key barrel,,,,,

Its a bit if touchie one with the dealer warrenty,the service guy said if there is any mods done even near the dash cluster then warrenty wont cover any thing including the search for the problem even if the mods done dont dirctly cause the problem....

Has any one seen,,heared of or had this problem in the past------------I have done a search and found the correct steps to reset the light but just seeing if its a problem linked to some thing i have done before doing anything,,,,,

Cheers Gregg

If the d4d doesn't have a timing belt I'm not sure what I spent $160 on getting done a few months back! :lol:

Definitely a strange one it coming on at 37,000kms.

Had it since new? Genuine kms?

Sorted it today with a bit of thinking time and working out what i may have done!!!!!!!!

When i turned off the seat belt chime at just over 17,000klms i got a different display than i should have,,It came up with numbers not B-ON or B-OFF!!!!! So i pushed the speedo button a few times no knowing what it was doing ,,,,It was changing the setting for the Timming belt count down!
I some how have changed it to come on after 20,000klms and now 20,000klms later there it is..

The only differance getting into the T-Belt set up is you turn the ignition on while holding the speedo button.
And when doing the Seat belt chime you turn the ignition on THEN hold the speedo button to set it...

Hope this helps if anyone else makes the same mistake :)
Cheers Gregg
