A method and system for developing fault models from structured text documents, such as service procedures. A service procedure or other structured text document is parsed using diagnostic rules to extract symptoms, failure modes, and correlations. Testing procedures and repair instructions are also parsed to create a fault tree and identify additional symptoms and failure modes. Reachability analysis is then used to find hidden dependencies in the fault tree, thus yielding additional correlations. The resultant symptoms, failure modes, and correlations are then assembled into a fault model, which can be used for real-time fault diagnosis onboard a vehicle, or for off-board diagnosis at service shops.
