Hi Tim
It may be a good idea that you read what Willard may be reading. It's not an on and off situation, so I think disabled is not a good term for Willard to use. Maps are used for different situations and temps. An ABS event can disable regen for obvious reasons.
Temperature compensated lift-throttle regenerative braking
The amount of regenerative braking that is applied to the wheels (105) of a vehicle (100) is based on ambient temperature and a lift-throttle event. An ambient temperature sensor (108) monitors the temperature around the vehicle. Based on the temperature, a map is selected (204, 212, 214). If a lift-throttle event occurs, then the map is applied (206, 208). Compression regenerative braking is reduced to zero if an anti-lock braking system event occurs or if the throttle is re-applied, or both (216, 218, 220, 222).

You and Andy are right IMO.
