I'm using a Panasonic Toughbook CF-53 SAPZYC7 with an i5-3340M. Arch Linux has been installed with archinstall with the 'minimal' profile and uses the normal kernel.
I want to be able to manually control the laptops' fans purely through the command line. What I really need is a way to make the fans go full blast, sort of how 'Macs Fan Control' lets me do on my macbook (https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control), but I don't want to deal with a GUI.

I tried following the Arch Wiki's "Fan Speed Control" page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fan_speed_control). I tried using the lm_sensors fancontrol script. After using sensors-detect as directed, I ran sensors to have the following output:
BAT1-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
in0: 11.97 V
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +59.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0: +56.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +59.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1: +55.8°C (crit = +112.0°C)
temp2: +55.8°C (crit = +130.0°C)
Then, pwmconfig has the following output:
# pwmconfig version 3.6.0+git
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.
/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
This results in /etc/fancontrol not being generated, which means the fancontrol utility does not work.

I tried nbfc-linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nbfc-linux). This is the output of nbfc config -r :
HP Compaq Presario CQ40 Turion X2 RM-74

HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1
HP ZBook Fury 15 G7
HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-bq1xx
HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-ae0xx
None of these are my laptop. Is it possible that Panasonic Toughbook fans cannot be controlled manually on linux?
