A diagnostic system and method for a cooling system includes producing a control signal for adjusting a valve position of a regulator valve as a demand for cooling, as well as providing an ambient temperature measurement, coil inlet temperature measurement, and coil exit temperature measurement. The valve position and at least one of the ambient temperature measurement, coil inlet temperature measurement, and coil exit temperature measurement are monitored and compared with at least one predetermined fault value indicative of a fault condition to diagnose the system. An alert module responsive to the diagnostic module issues an alert signal when at least one of the ambient temperature measurement, coil inlet temperature measurement, and coil exit temperature measurement bears a predetermined relationship to the fault value. When monitoring and comparing, an error value percentage indicative of a percentage of sampled error within an accepted offset range for a defined period of time is determined.
