Default gs430 ac fan issue

I searched but i couldnt find nothing exactly related to my problem.

Today i realized that my fan doesnt shut down..

I had my AC off and that thing was running for the longest time ever.

Went inside my house, let the car run for another minute came back and it was still on..

I drove the car and the fan was still on.

Does anybody know what could it be?

Low coolant?

Thanks for any input
