I'm not seeing a spec on that temperature, but if the engine is reaching temperatures that high the fan should be on full high speed. There is a bulletin for an updated Hydraulic Fan Solenoid, it should be setting a code for this bulleting (diagram 1), the hydraulic fan can also be bi-directionally controlled with a scan tool, and be set to 100% duty cycle for testing. That is what service info instructs to do. There should also be a live Data PID for the fans current duty cycle and the speed it is running at the time of monitoring. Have you done a chemical test yet to rule out any head gasket possibilities yet? Or any bubbles coming out the radiator opening?
The wiring for the Hydro Fan only shows power, ground, and the control wire from the PCM which is going to be a pulse width modulated control signal (Duty Cycled) to operate the Fan Solenoid. With this system you need scan data to see what the PCM is seeing, and this should show if a skewed sensor is causing the fan to not operate on High or if the PCM is commanding it at 100% and it is not reacting to that command, obviously it is reacting to AC pressure, but there are 3 other inputs the PCM is monitoring when it comes to fan operation. I would have a full system scan done to see if there are any other codes stored in other modules. At 220 to 230 the fan should be on high, if the thermostat is only a 195f degree, it should be wide open and the fan should be blasting on high speed. Are both the upper and lower radiator hoses getting hot?
And do a head gasket test.
