Your engine coolant temp sensor died. You might want to check the wiring at the ECT sensor, it may be broken or loose.

Just remember to drain a quart of antifreeze from the radiator before pulling the sensor out. No need to get antifreeze all over the alternator!

Yes, a bad ECT will cause the engine fan to come on and will also cause hard starts.
