pull your gauge cluster and check behind the panel for this...
previous owners of my car decided to block off the check engine light to hide the 13 codes on the computer. There are two fuses under the hood in the fuse block for the fan, both fuses have to be good for the fans to operate correctly. The MAF is on the drivers side lower on the intake pipe closer to the fender well.

Punctuation. Use it.
From what I can decipher, you're asking like 3 different things.
Your check engine light should be over to the left, near the speedo. Directly to the left of the ebrake light.
225 isn't that hot for these cars while sitting in traffic. Fans kick on at 230, if I recall right. If you're really concerned that can be changed with a custom tune using HPTuners.
The intake has a MAF sensor. It's down near the bottom by the filter.

That's perfectly normal for driving. And creeping up to 220 is just fine for idle, as long as it drops down again when you get moving. Sounds like no problems there.
