There seems to be no standard way of reading sensor information. This requires installing an extra package (lm-sensors) and some manual configuration. Without that information available, a checkbox test for fans is impossible to write; further, since it would require the user first installing lm-sensors and then ensuring the information returned by it is accurate, this would completely defeat the purpose of then checking this with checkbox.
I'll mark Won't Fix as this is not something that can be handled by checkbox.
