2 years driving like that with the light on and no problems so far... (of course the light goes off after a while)

Nah actually I figured it out, called a Toyota engineer in Japan and everything.... that light is a reminder to the driver that he/she is driving a COOL car... So it stays on for a couple minutes every day, just so they don't forget!

Ah Toyota, what will they think of next?

The FIAV is temp controled...
it's basically a throttle plate bypass.
It works like a thermostat and once it's up to temp it closes and the RMPs drop down to normal.
