C250 2009 radiator fan running full speed!
Hello everyone!
Today, I started my car after 2 days of not running it, and I noticed that the engine cooling fan was making a very loud noise and spinning at maximum speed, even though the engine temperature was in a cold start state. The engine temperature gauge was showing around 20°C. Can anyone help me figure out the cause of this issue?

Below is an image of the fault code I scanned
.

I dont have that engine so not sure what the codes mean.

For some reason I thought if the fan is running on high it may mean the coolant temp sensor is faulty, the fan runs on high by default.

I agree with TimC300, the usual cause of the radiator fans stuck on is a faulty Coolant Temperature Sensor.

As for the scanned fault codes you need to clear them all and see which ones, if any, return.
