For each suspected fault, update the SFG by modifying thee appropriate edge gains or adding / removing edges. Recompute the transfer function and comparate it te te measured behavor. For example, if te measured DC gain is half thee expected, suspect that the forward gain G (s) is halved (due te ta a gain fault) or that an extra positiva beed back loop with gain 1 is present (cancelling parof dementator).
