  • Method and Device for Diagnosing Electrodes in Sensor Elements
    Publication number: 20140033794
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a sensor element for detecting at least one fraction of a gas component of a gas in a measuring gas chamber, in particular a sensor element for detecting oxygen in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The sensor element includes at least one first electrode, to which the gas may be applied, and at least one second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode being connected via at least one solid electrolyte. A diagnostic signal is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, a response signal being detected between the first electrode and the second electrode.
