Dashboard lights on (engine coolant & traction)

[Ennea]

Hi everyone. I'm a new car owner and have purchased a 09 Yaris last month. I got two dashboard lights come on when I start the car:

1. Blue Coolant Temperature Light - goes on every time I start the car. After about a 1-2 minute drive, goes away. I don't remember this being an issue when I test drove the car a month ago. Since then, it spent about 3 weeks standing and not being driven in Southern Vermont.

2. Traction light is flashing all the time.

Thanks for any advice, in advance, as I'm a newbie.

The lights I see are

1. COOL - the engine temperature is below normal operating temperature. You didn't see it during your test drive as the engine was probably warm at the time. You will notice that the transmission will not shift into top gear until this light goes out.

2. The red light is your seat belt light

3. The yellow light is your Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). Check your tire pressure and if all are at specification then have someone check each wheel sensor.

Thanks.

About the "cool" engine temperature light: the light goes on every single time I start the car. I've driven cars for 20 years and I've never seen a car do this every single time, even when the temperature outside is not that low. That shouldn't be happening constantly, shout it?

The Cool LED lights in my 2007. If the coolant temperature is below 130 degrees on my Scanguage.
If I stop and run some errands and the coolant is still above 130 degrees it does not light again. If it has cooled down to less than 130 degrees it will light again.

Thanks for the input, guys.

The blue temperature light in my car stays on, even when the engine is at operating temperature. It should turn off around 55°c (131°f), but instead it turns off randomly. Sometimes it even turns back on again. The scangauge reads regular operating engine temperatures, so I know for sure it is not the sensor. The car runs perfectly, no problems what so ever but it called my atention the fact that the light remains on.

Anyone with the same symptoms by any chances?
