Attempt to Clear Blocked Pack Contactors

This routine will execute various Battery Management System (BMS) clear/reset routines in an attempt to clear blocked pack contactors. Keep in mind that even if all internal routines PASS, pack contactors may still be blocked from closing due to other extrinsic conditions.

Automated Falcon Door Test (Driver)

This test will open the falcon door from the latched position, during which it will monitor signals related to inward facing USS, cladding sensors, anti-pinch sensors, and strut current. If the door opens fully and all of these signals report values as expected, the test will pass. The test will then close the door on its own.

Automated Falcon Door Test (Passenger)

This test will open the falcon door from the latched position, during which it will monitor signals related to inward facing USS, cladding sensors, anti-pinch sensors, and strut current. If the door opens fully and all of these signals report values as expected, the test will pass. The test will then close the door on its own.
