Mine does the same thing. I thought they were on the same circuit and that the extra fan on A/C models is just for the extra cooling required.

Your IACV needs to be cleaned and/or changed. Fans coming on indicates that you have a concerning issue with your cooling system. Bleed the system first and see if that helps if not. Check Radiator cap, then thermostat. and so on.

If your A/C is engaged then both fans will run constantly. If they are coming after you shut the car off refer to first paragraph.

Can't help with the cooling problems, but from what I see on many different cars equipped with AC, both of them are running either when using the AC or when the engine is hot enough since they both are on the same circuit.

Both of my fans come on on my LX. They only come on in traffic, otherwise they stay off.

Bleed the coolant system, easiest way I know is to drain the radiator half way via drain cock at the bottom of the rad. Open bleeder valve and fill, when it start to come out of the bleeder close it off.

What year car?
