There is no cooling fan sensor, ECM is turning the fan on and off. Between the ECM and fan there is a relay, located in front of the car on the left side behind the left headlight,it's the fourth relay from the inside out.
I had the same problem with my 90 buick century, Replacing the temperature sensor did the trick, it is located above and behind the water pump.
Check at the rear side of the radiator towards the top
The 2001 Buick Century came equipped with the 3100 V6 (engine code 'J'). The cooling system capacity is 11.6 quarts.
The sensor is on the back side of engine at the lip of the oil pan put installed in the engine block.

The coolant temp sensor on a 97 Buick Century is on the side of the radiator. It is just below the radiator cap.
the O2 sensor is in the exhaust manifold leftside of engine (front) between engine block and engine cooling fan. Easy access. I used a 7/16.
The O2 sensor is right behind the engine on top of the muffler tube leaving the rear manifold on the engine. If you look down from the rear top - you can see it.
