Yes, that is by design. BUT, 36deg. (seems to me) is still to "warm" to disable compressor. I pull out of the warm garage, head down the road, say 35deg. outside temp., compressor drops out and windows fog up!! I was hoping that there was a "campaign" on this and I could re-flash the ecm-bcm. But it's probably hard wired in the hvac control module~
Thanks!
