Found this elsewhere though sure someone had this the other day on here-

1995 Subaru Impreza

Heating / Cooling System Malfunction Happens always Always
Q: The cooling fans continue running from a cold start to warm up. Is a sensor possible for this problem? It's not overheating. Also, it acts like its not running properly on a cold start; after warmup it's fine.... other then the fans running. Any help would be appreciated. I'm hoping for something simple. Thank you.

A: Coolant temp sensor triggers the fans in case of overheating. If sensor thinks that the engine is overheating, it will provide LESS fuel and turn on fan to help. Ed
