There are multiple reasons for that. First of all the thermostat must installed in the proper way. There is a valve which must at it's maximum vertical position. Also if you have bought an aftermarket part you might made a mistake. It's because aftermarket parts a little higher opening temperature. You have two choices: first one is to buy the thermostat from Toyota; second is to but so called "low temperature thermostat" which opens before required temperature is reached. If you live in a cold state you need to buy OEM part because low temperature thermostat effectively decreases temperature of the heating system.

Overheat IndicationYou've answered your own question. If the "overheat indicator" is indicating overheating, then the engine and the coolant is OVERHEATED!!!!!!Overheating is a serious situation and any indication of such requires that a qualified automotive technician check the vehicle and determine the cause for the overheating, and correct it to prevent permanent, and possibly very expensive, damage to the engine.Or, another remote possibility is that the engine/coolant temperature sensing/indicating system has become defective.
