Default Cooling Fans/Engine Light

hello everyone, Im looking for some assistance again with my 95 vette. I had posted on here a few weeks ago about the overheating troubles I was having and couldnt get it figured out. After everything we done of trying to repair the overheating we ended up blowing the head gasket in the mean time. So anyway, got that all done now. This time I am having another weird situation, when my fans come on my service engine soon light comes on with them.? Not sure why but it does. I also recently replaced the engine computer because of a data issue that could not be reprogrammed. Also replaced the alternator, thinking possibly alternator was going bad. But no such luck. So if anyone can please give me any insight as to why the service engine soon light comes on with the cooling fans I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you done the jumper-wire trick in the harnsess port under the steering column? If the service engine light is coming on there should be a code stored?
