Method of cooling a heat exchanger of an engine using a cooling fan system includes: measuring conditions of an engine cooling system, determining a desired fan cooling demand. Based on the fan cooling demand, a fan control circuit operates to selectively control an electrically commutated (EC) motor at a continuously variable speed for an EC cooling fan and to control a direct current (DC) motor of a DC cooling fan. The DC motor is controlled to: not operate the DC cooling fan, operate the DC motor at a first predetermined operating speed, and operate the DC motor at a second predetermined operating speed corresponding to a second DC motor speed signal that is less than the first predetermined operating speed. The conditions for determining fan cooling demand include at least one of a temperature and a pressure of an engine coolant and of a refrigerant of a vehicle air conditioning system.
