A method for evaluating voltage sensor output using a diagnostic system includes: measuring an overall fuel cell stack voltage using a stack voltage sensor; identifying a fuel cell voltage of a first end cell using a first end cell voltage sensor and a second end cell using a second end cell voltage sensor; determining if a maximum value of the overall fuel cell stack voltage, the fuel cell voltage of the first end cell or the second end cell is less than a sensor limit, and if a minimum value of the fuel cell voltages is greater than the sensor limit; performing a test to identify if the maximum value is greater than an average sensor signal value and if the average sensor signal value is greater than the minimum value; and conducting a test to identify if the minimum value is less than a first predetermined threshold.
