With Isuzu cars and 4x4s you can switch off the light by removing the
instrument cluster from the dash, and on the back there is a screw, undoing
that and screwing it into a different hole resets a switch so the timing
belt light goes out and is ready to go on the next time you need a belt
change.

I'd say theres nothing wrong with the engine or computer, it's just telling
you it's time ot had something like the timing belt or timing chain changed.
