it could be a stuck relay keeping fans on.

you could always bring it to a repair shop and have them fix it and also give you the inspection sticker.

I suspect the fault code was for an “open circuit” in the coolant temperature sensor circuit, this would cause the computer to turn on the cooling fans by default. Inspect for broken/damaged wiring.
