The light will just come back on until the problem is fixed... Possible causes; Faulty fan control relay, Faulty cooling fan, Fan control relay harness is open or shorted, Fan control relay circuit poor electrical connection, Fan cooling fan harness is open or shorted, Fan cooling fan circuit poor electrical connection.

Warm weather will be here soon so fix it before you overheat the engine.

Hope someone is still around on this thread to help... I got this code and checked everything rowefast cited. My fan still works. Would it not work if any of those items rowefast cited were not working properly? I opened the hood and saw the fans running.

Because it threw that code. It was low on coolant when the code appeared, so perhaps that's why.

So did you erase code after filling coolant? Did the CEL reappear? Helping you shouldn't be a riddle.
