Default Cooling Fans Questions

I have a code P0480. I used EFI and used manual controls to activate low speed fan/fans with no luck. In High speed setting, passenger side fan came on only.

What is normal? Both fans @ high speed, one fan @ high speed, one fan at low, two fans @ low?

TIA

Normal is both fans on simultaneously, whether low or high speed.

Car is under warranty so I took it to a dealer. Replaced driver side fan and all OK again. FWIW, I never could get the passenger side fan to come on with my code.
