The answer to this problem should be simple. Disable the fan alarm for this particular host.

Since it is not getting detected correctly, the solution is to disable the alarm, or your host will have the "Check Engine Light" on at all times, blinding the administrator to real issues that may have cropped up outside of the bogus fan alert.

There is no way I see how this can be done for a single host, although I see you can do it at the vcenter level. The attached screen shot shows you how you can edit, and then disable the alarm. It would probably not be wise to disable this particular alarm for all the hosts in the vcenter.

In our case we have a bad sensor, so I have to live with the check engine light, unfortunately. I am guessing I could probably right a script to constantly look for and disable the warning.
