It's not normal. Probably a bad temperature sensor or HVAC input.

The coolant temperature sensor sends a varying signal to the ECU that reflects the engine temperature. It could be sending a higher than normal signal that turns the coolings fans on but not a code.

There only a couple of things that will energize the cooling fan. One is a high engine temperature and the other is the A/C compressor running. The fan assures air flow over the condenser coil located in front of the radiator.

I would suspect a sensor sending the wrong signal. Can you check that and compare it to the actual engine temperature?

edit: there could be other inputs turning the cooling fans on with the diesel engine
