Default 2003 forester cooling fan control

My 2003 automatic has started to overheat badly idling in traffic in hot
(about 85-90 deg F.) weather. Fluids and lubricants are OK. Checking the
fan circuit, all 3 relays are OK as are the fuses. If I short between the
outputs contacts of fan relay 1 both fans come on at low rpms, if I short
between the outputs contacts of fan relay 2, 1 fan comes on at high rpms.
Normal?
My chiltons manual doesn't even show the 3rd ralay, "fan mode, which like
the others is a spst so I don't think it can be used to select either fan
relay, any ideas as to what it does?
