Now, today, my temperature gauge seems to have stopped working (just sits at low and doesn’t move) and both radiator fans stay running all the time while vehicle is running. Display instrument information panel shows engine hot a/c off and service tire monitor system, check engine light is on and (blinking) yellow exclamation point is on.

Heat works and vehicle doesn’t seem to be overheating really, even though the above is occurring.

Because you have a check engine light on I would run the codes to confirm the engine coolant sensor is out of range. Here is a guide to help you run the codes and the sensor locations as well.
