This is strange.  I can only do a Web search because I own no
Thinkpad.  I find

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/ubuntu-question-t420.603272/

They say:

“The cause: the file /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal no longer exists in the
affected models. The temperature sensors are moved to another location
in the sysfs thinkfan and she does not recognize.”

They point to a different sensor line in thinkfan.conf.

I assume thinkfan_acpi is listed in lsmod.

A bad alternative would be that you try using a different kernel version.
