Need help with SES light
What would cause this? The SES light will pop on and then the fans kick on and stay on until I shut the car down unless the light goes out first then the fans turn off. While this is happening the car is running between 210 and 215 degrees. It doesn't seem to change the way the car runs though. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Yeah mate, here it is for ya 
On a 94/95 you can check the codes with a paper clip as follows:
You short pin "12" to pin "4" and turn the ignition switch to "On" without starting the engine.
The speedometer will display any codes using the same protocol as the 1990-1993 model but there are some changes in the designation for the modules plus additional modules are added:
Module "1" is still the CCM module.
Module "4" is now called the PCM module (Powertrain Control Module) because automatic transmission computer control was added to Engine Control Module in 1994.
Module 7 (on the 1996 model only) is the RTD module. (This is the Real Time Dampening module which replaced the Selective Ride Control module in 1996).
Module 9 is the ABS/ASR module number from 1994 through 1996.
Finally, Module "A", the DERM (Dynamic Energy Control Module --- (the air bag control module) will be requested to show any codes.
Just like the 1990-1993 display, you read the codes on the speedometer (big) and read the module number on the trip odometer (small).
A series of dashed lines for instance “ - - -“ indicates no more stored codes for that module.
A code showing as “C12” for the CCM module (module #1) means no codes are stored. So C12 is a good thing to see.
Again, you can cause the codes to repeat by turning the ignition off for five seconds and then back on.
Turn the ignition off and remove the short to restore normal operation.
To clear the codes,
1. With ignition "off" ground terminal #12 of the DLC (use bent paper clip to connect pin 4 to pin 12)
2. Turn ignition "on".
3. Press trip/odo button on the DIC until 1.7 appears in the trip
monitor area of the instrument cluster.
4. Press eng/met button on the DIC & hold until "---" appears in the
speedometer area of the cluster, this will clear CCM DTC'S.
To clear PCM/ECM codes do the following:
1. Press the trip reset button on the DIC until the desired system is displayed. In this case it will be 4.0.
2. Press trip/odo button on the DIC until the desired diagnostic mode(4.7) is displayed on the trip monitor area of the cluster.
3. Press & hold the eng/met button on the DIC until "---" is
displayed in the speedometer area of the cluster, this will clear PCM codes.
To clear ABS/ASR codes do the following:
Same as above but you’re looking for “9.7” on the trip odo
