Default Engine cooling fans shut off???

A few times this week after turning off my car the fans are still going. They don't turn off for like 2 min. They're pretty loud. I've never noticed them before.

Is that normal or is something off?

Depending on the running temperature. . . I had mine do that before, but only when it was real hot out.

Stock programming makes the fans stay on (even with the engine shut off) for 150 seconds if the coolant temp goes above 235 degrees.
Maybe it's running hot.
I've seen 230 degrees on hptuners scanner when the dash gauge read 210.
At 196 my dash gauge reads right under 210, not very accurate.

Is that ignition off disable temp stock setting correct? PCM doesn't even command the high speed on until 234 running. My helms says key off 284 and approx 3 minute run time. Not saying you're wrong, just wondering.
