An output param eter of the fluid working machine, which is responsive to the displacement of working fluid by one or more of the working cham bers to carry out the working function, is measured. It is determined whether the measured output parameter fulfils at least one ac ceptable function criterion, taking into account the previously selected net displacement of working fluid by a working chamber f4 during a cycle of working chamber volume to carry out the working function. By taking into account the previously selected net displacement of working fluid by a working chamber during a cycle of working chamber volume to carry out the working func tion, an unacceptable fault in a fluid-working machine may be detected if it causes one or more measured output parameter to re spond in a way which would not be expected if the fluid working machine was functioning acceptably.
