This paper deals with a fault detection method taking into account model uncertainties described by bounded variables. A parity space approach is proposed, where the parity matrix depends on uncertain parameters. Since residuals represent a set of feasible behaviors, they therefore define a normal operation domain. In order to simplify its evaluation, residuals are linearized in bounded variables. This procedure generates an approximation, which can be enhanced by estimating bounds of uncertain parameters. Temporal dependencies between residuals are then taken into account in order to increase the precision of consistency tests.
