you can not tell if the belt has been changed or not if not 100% get it changed its a fraction of the cost compared to a full cylneder head rebiled.
check recommended mileage, DO NOT EXCEED
if you have the service history check for the dealers stamp if not check onto of the cambelt housing to see if there is a sticker with mileage on which indicates when it was changed if none of the above take off the cambelt casing and check the condition of the cambelt and if it doesnt look new have it done for peace of mind.
60,000 miles or 5 years if in doubt get mechanic to check for wear. Advisable to have water pump and tensioners changed at same time as same labour involved.
Check with the specific dealership where you purchased your car from in regards to the timing belt to get a quote. Or, consult a local mechanic such as those with ASE certified technicians.

Double check all connectors. Check for engine trouble codes. Double check that the timing belt/chain is correct.
Check the owners manual on your car. Most of the manual will give you a range that is very close. Get it changed if it is close because when it goes it can cause major problems.

If it started flashing after the water pump, it is possible that the timing belt/chain is installed improperly.
I believe that engine actually has a timing chain, which does not require replacement. If it is actually a timing belt, it should be changed every 60k-90k miles regardless of wear.
more than likely the mechanic that changed the timing belt didn't put the crank position sensor wire back on the timing cover and the alt belt burned the wires going to the sensor throwing a code. crank senor no signal
