Disappearing Functional Tests

[Bob's Garage]

Does anyone have any examples of Functional tests that were once available on the "Brick" or other SO scanners but seemed to have disappeared?

IF YOU POST A TEST THAT IS MISSING, PLEASE REPORT WHAT TOOL IT WAS ON AND WHAT VERSION. EXAMPLE: MT2500 V7.2

I have a couple examples:

1996 Ford crown Vic, Bi Directional EGR test was available on the MT2500 with 7.2, test has disappeared.

1996 Altima. Bi-Directional test for Vent Valve test was available on the Brick 2500. It has since disappeared.

I am compiling a list.

It really sucks when you remember the test was there and now you have to test the part manually. Or grab another scanner.

Thanks, Bob

1999 Ford Escort showed EGR & IAC and functional tests in 8.2 on my old brick.

Now they are gone in later versions. The Output state tests and cooling fan test (diiferent area) are still in current versions and cylinder contibution test has been added since 11.2.

Is that where SO gets those huge numbers like "73,000 NEW functional test"? By removing and then re-adding them? No way, say it ain't so!
