It depends on the year of your truck - from about 1999 onwards the timing belt warning light was re-set electronically - there was a recent post about it.

Earlier models needed a screw to be moved as you say.

I have done this a couple of times - and I took photos the last time.

You probably don't need all the noddy details, but I'll put them here for future reference.

First, disconnect the battery(ies) as you will be disconnecting large lumps of wiring harness from the instrument panel.


1.  Remove the panel below the steering wheel. There is a 6mm set screw (10mm hex head) on the right and a machine screw on the left:








There are a couple of spring clips that need to be sprung out as well.





Then the panel just dangles on the wiring. This reveals more screws:





Now remove the ignition switch surround, it is held on with a pair of spring clips:







The top of the instrument panel has to come off. First remove two screws from the underside:





Now loosen the instrument panel fascia - two screws, one on the left:





And another on the right - by the ignition switch:





The fascia is also located by plastic pins like this:





With the fascia loose, you can get to the lower screws holding the top of the instrument panel. The right-hand one is removed from here:





And the left from here:





Now the top can come off:





With the top gone, the front fascia can be wiggled out past the steering wheel to reveal the instrument panel:





This is held on by four screws, remove them then carefully unclip the four wiring connectors from the rear:





Turn the instrument cluster over and the re-set screw you need is here . . . .





Remove the screw and replace it in the adjacent hole (this one hadn't been re-set before, hence the hole is blocked):





Job done:





Yours could be in either hole, depending on the mileage, the light comes on at 60,000 mile intervals.


Then just put the lot back together again   .


Hope this helps to remove the mystique  


Bob.

What year is it? If it's after juneish 1999 it's just a matter of pushing the trip reset buttons in the correct sequence.

my next job. wish us luck

1. T-BELT MODE DISPLAY
a) With ignition turned ON, using the trip switch (select/reset button) change the display to ODO, and turn the ignition OFF
b) While pressing the trip switch, turn the ignition switch ON and hold it for 5 seconds.
c) Release the trip switch, then press the switch again within 5 seconds.
d) The digital display should change to T-belt mode. The initial display "15" (0,000km) is displayed (ie. 150,000km).

2. REWRITING REPLACEMENT VALUES
While in the T-Belt mode, each press of the trip switch will change the displayed value by 10,000km increments. Once " 20 " (200,000km) is reached the display reverts back to " 1 " (10,000km) again. Remember, this setting is the number of kilometres to be travelled before the light comes on next, and once reset this counter will start from zero.
I believe the timing belt interval for all the 100 series engine variants is 150,000km, but this should be checked against each different markets servicing recommendation. This being the case, you shouldn't need to change from the default setting of "15".
Obviously for the US, the ODO is in miles, and I guess the T-Belt warning would be set in 10,000 mile intervals.

3. T-BELT WARNING RESET COMPLETION
a) After setting the replacement setting value, hold the trip switch ON for more than 5 seconds then release the switch.
b) Check that the display has now changed back to ODO and that the warning light has gone off when the engine is started.
NOTE: If the T-Belt mode is completed, even though the belt replacement has not been performed, the T-Belt warning IS reset.
I hope this proves to be of assistance guys, as usual all care no responsibility.
