There are high and low speed fan relays in the underhood fuse/relay center. They are turned on and off by the PCM.
For some reason a relay may be shorted on or the PCM is getting wrong information about engine temperature or if the A/C-defrost is on or the PCM itself may have an issue. Any 'ck eng' light on or fault codes?

Yes and their locations (high speed relay and low speed relay) should be labeled under the lid or next to the relay itself.

It could if it was a signal value out of the high/low range that the PCM allows, like an open circuit or short to ground. If it is still within a 'believable' or valid temperature value to the PCM, it shouldn't set the 'ck eng' light.
If a rad fan relay is pulled out with the ign on, it may set a code as the PCM sees an open circuit to the relay actuator coil.

Both fans do run in the low or high speed mode. They are 2-speed fan motors.
If you pull a relay and the fans stop, that is the circuit (low or high speed) that is staying on.

For diagnostic purposes, it would be OK to swap the 2 relays with a couple of 'non-critical' adjacent relays of the same part number in the fuse/relay center.
