As far as I know the cooling fans are configured to each extruder. When an extruder switch is called for then the cooling fan switches. If there is no second extruder then the second fan (Fan1) won't be controlled. The speed of the second fan wouldn't be accessible without a second extruder.
You could do it with Search and Replace. If you know what layer you want the second fan to turn on then:
Search = ;LAYER:30
Replace = ;LAYER:30\nM106 S255 P1
then another Search and Replace to shut it off
Search = ;LAYER:35
Replace = ;LAYER:35\nM106 S0 P1
Search and Replace accepts multi-line strings with the commands separated by "\n" (backslash + lower case n)
