After I start the car and all the dash lights go off, ie. the airbag light and the seatbelt light, from time to time the coolant light will stay on. Times before when I noticed I just turned the car off and back on and the light goes back off. Today I didn't notice right away and the light stayed on for about 2-3 minutes of driving. Anybody know the problem?

Eventually the "float" in the tank will stop floating and overfilling the tank and replacing the sensor will not fix the problem. Your symptoms were the same as mine so, discounting a wiring problem, you may find that the only course of action is to replace the tank. I haven't done this yet so for now I'm living with the light being lit all the time.
