Just start with checking the electrical connections to your fans and your fan relay in the fuse box under the hood.

If those are all good then pull your codes and post them here. I don't have a book on codes for ODB II but I'm sure someone else on here would be able to help you with them. Or you can use the SEARCH feature on the top of this page to look for other topics like this or for the codes your car throws at you.

Here is a link on how to retrieve codes if you didn't already know.

With the AC off, the fans will come on at about 228 degrees and go off at about 217 degrees

With the AC on, the fans run 100% of the time, keeping the coolant on average cooler

Do a test, and check for codes as outlined above

You will see wider ranges on average with the AC off

Have you looked at the fans with the AC on? The coolant fans share the same fuse as the AC compressor clutch
