Chrysler sliding door functional testing

[USpMD]

Has anyone used the Chrysler sliding door functional test, I just used it the other day on a 2005 Town & Country, It did have a fault on the left side, wouldn’t open, closes ok. Right side was ok, question is when operating test, get no result on left side, when testing right side tool states conditions not correct for running test, I used my Verus-1 with 11.4 on Friday afternoon, I just happened to have a DRB III with me that day so I also tried using this tool as well, with the DRB on the left door it unlatched the door but wouldn’t open it, it timed out due to door fault, I then tried it on the right side, with the DRB on the right door it opened the door and closed the door like normal operation, I then retried with the Verus-1 with 11.4 with same result as first time, unable to test left side( nothing happens) and on right door tool states conditions not correct for test. Friday night I had my Verus-1 updated to 12.2 by my Dealer, then came home and hooked it to the internet to check for updates and downloaded the critical updates, this Verus-1 is running 2.3.0.2631 bundle 12.2, I then returned Saturday to try this Chrysler door operation again, and got the same no result on left side and conditions not correct on the right side, DRB III works fine on right, and unlatches but won’t open on left. Am I using the Verus correctly? Or is it not working correctly? This being the first time I have used this function on a Chrysler, I am not concerned about the vehicle, we found a bad wire in the harness to the left door, I am however wondering if the tool or I need fixing to do a proper test, Vin# 2C8GP64L65R267401

I have never used it for repairing a vehicle, but have tried it on a few cars that didn't have problems, just to fool around with it. It worked as expected, but after messing with the Functional Tests, the processor needed to be reset before it would work in its own again. I just disconnected the battery and all was well again.
This sounds like a bug related to this vehicle. Thanks for posting it.

If it was a bug related to this vehicle then why would it work fine with the DRB III? The DRB was able to operate and test both sides, the left side would unlatch and the motor would cycle untill it timed out and the right side would work and pass the test, however it would do nothing with the verus!!

The Atlas software broke again.

Looks as if they never fix the bugs with the software , Having the same concern here with a sliding door , Like a hooker , Take your money and leave you with bugs .....

I meant a software bug on the Verus, related to this vehicle....as opposed to all vehicles with a sliding door. When I have used the test, it worked as designed, but I can't remember which ones I have tried it one. Obviously there is a problem working on this particular vehicle though.

Ok, so we know its a fault with the tool software, I would like to see this feature fixed, would be a very helpful functional test, I see you responded to my Honda OCS reset request, Thank you in advance, I havent got the chance to use it as yet, but thanks for putting it in the tool, I also wound again request to see Chrysler pinion factor correction added to Verus, this is also a fuction of DRB III tool that is very helful to us in keeping repairs in our shops and not requiring us to send our clients to the Dealer, Hope Snap-on will look into this

Seriously? Pinion factor is not on Verus? It is on the Solus fer cryin' out loud. I can't imagine it is on a cheap 10 year old machine but not the latest/greatest $10,000 machine

Chrysler pinion factor

I believe that is is as I have performed it after changing tires on a Ram and a Dakota. I think its in the ABS functional tests.

ABS? Odd place for it. I know I have half a dozen Chryslers in the shop right now, I am going to have to check.
