Default Temp lights flashing

My 1997 Saturn SL2 has suddenly started blinking the two temp lights
(coolant and transaxle) simultaneously shortly after I begin driving.
The lights flash for maybe 30-40 seconds, then quit. Doesn't happen
every single time I start the car, but is happening more frequently.
Temp guage shows normal/low - Any ideas?

Check the coolant level. if it is not low, then go to Autozone and have
them pull the codes to make sure it isn't the tranny overheating.

Kevin

Thanks for the tip. I had a diagnostic garage read the codes and they
see nothing out of the ordinary - It's been doing this for about 2
weeks, seems to do it more often when the weather's cold - but not
exclusively. Very strange...
