Active Grille Shutters

My 2017 Ford Escape has grill shutters (you can see in the front the shutters with the little motor on the sides). I live in a cold environment and I usually see cars with these that when you shut them off they close, did some research and some cars close the grill shutters in cold environments to keep the heat in the engine, now, the grill shutters on my escape do not close when I shut it off, took it to a shop to make sure they weren’t broken, and they weren’t, they were able to close, open and set different positions with an OBD Tool, but when they unplug it, it just goes back to fully open. Anyone know if there’s a way to set like a default position or to control them? Or are the grill shutters on Ford usually this way?
