Abstract: The control arrangement comprises an oxygen linear test sensor located along the exhaust duct of an internal combustion engine, the sensor having a chamber able to receive part of the exhaust gas and two electrolytic cells of which one is electrically piloted; the arrangement having a retro-operation test circuit able to adjust the current piloted to the cell to give rise to an oxygen ions draining mechanism from and/or towards the chamber which induces the stoichiometric condition within the chamber itself, and an outlet circuit able to convert the piloted current into a first signal representative of nature of the mixture fed to the engine; the arrangement being provided with a memory circuit which memorises the value of a compensation resistance of the eventual spreads of the piloted current of a correcting circuit receiving the stored value of the compensation resistance and able to ensure a correction for the first signal to recover the spreads of piloted current to the cell; the correcting circuit provi
