Ugo,
in the DiagnosticStatus message there is a string "message" field.  In that
field we state fault modes in which the component is in.  Although this
doesn't tell you which fields are out of range, it provides a way to
communicate what's wrong with the component.  Our technique is for each
fault to append to the string so that if there are two errors, you will get
"ERROR1: helpful text 1, ERROR2: helpful info 2"  as the "message" field for
the status.
