Default Do both radiator fans operate at the same time?

My wife’s '03 2.0 liter New Beetle has been throwing a cooling related CEL. It is not running hot. I have replaced the thermostat and the Engine coolant temp sensor (green one). In my effort to locate the problem, I observed the operation of the radiator fans.

When the A/C is turned on and if the engine heats up while idling, the larger of the two fans (driver side) comes on. The smaller fan (passenger side) does not come on. Is this smaller fan only supposed to operate at higher engine temperatures or are they both supposed to operate simultaneously? Do I have a faulty smaller fan?
