Pretty easy to test on a very very hot summer day with the car parked and engine started. The primary fan should come on after the engine starts, and then as soon as A/C is turned on, the secondary fan should come on.
Tried the AC on as well with high coolant temp. Primary fan spins on full but second fan stays idle.
