Abstract: The systems and method may include receiving a plurality of measured tuning inputs associated with an operating parameter of an engine, providing a plurality of parameter estimation modules that utilize one or more component performance maps having adjustable knobs to generate model outputs, where each parameter estimation module is configured independently of a respective one of the operating parameters of the engine, and where each parameter estimation module generates the model outputs based upon fundamental inputs associated with the engine. The systems and methods may further include calculating residual values for each parameter estimation module, adjusting knobs of each parameter estimation module, and determining that a sensor associated with a measured tuning input or a fundamental input is faulty based at least in part upon values of the knobs and residual values.
