Aim To improve the causal diagnosis method presented by Bandekar and propose a new method of finding the root fault order according to the fault possibility by means of numerical calculation. Methods Based on the causal graph, by utilization of fuzzified threshold value and fuzzy discrimination matrix, a kind of fuzzy causal diagnosis method was given and the fault possibility of each elements in the root fault candidate set (RFCS) was obtained. Results and Conclusion The order of each element in the RFCS can be obtained by the fault possibility, which makes the location of fault much easier. The diagnosis speed of this method is quite high, and by means of the fuzzified threshold value and fuzzy discrimination matrix, the result is more robust to noises and bad parameter's choice.
