The invention relates to a gas sensor for determining the oxygen concentration in a gas mixture, especially in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Said gas sensor comprises a pump cell having an outer pump electrode, exposed to the gas mixture, and an inner pump electrode, exposed to the gas mixture via a diffusion barrier, and a solid electrolyte body interposed between the outer pump electrode and the inner pump electrode. The gas sensor also has a reference electrode, exposed to a reference gas, and a sensor heating device. The outer pump electrode is connected to a circuit arrangement via a pump current line, the inner pump electrode via a measuring line, the reference electrode via a reference current line and the sensor heating device via two heating lines. The invention is characterized in that the pump current line and one heating line are electrically interconnected and grounded, the pump current can be supplied via the measuring line and the Nernst voltage can be tapped between the measuring line and the reference pump current line and the reference pump current flows from the reference electrode to the outer pump electrode.

The invention relates to a method for operating a lambda probe for determining the concentration of gaseous components in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Said method is characterised by the following steps: the internal resistance is determined; the internal resistance is compared to a resistance threshold value which can be predetermined; the pump voltage is applied when the resistance threshold value is exceeded.

The invention relates to a sensor for an electrochemical detecting element for determining the concentration of a gas component in a measuring gas, especially for determining the oxygen concentration in the waste gas from internal combustion engines. Said sensor comprises a Nernst cell (12) arranged on one side of a carrier (11) on the surface thereof and an electric heater (14) disposed on the other side of the carrier (11). The heater (14) is arranged on a second carrier (13) secured to the first carrier (11) in order to reduce a bimetal effect when rapidly heating the heater (14) and increased high tensile stress linked thereto in the longitudinal edges of the carrier (11). The second carrier is made from the same material and has at least approximately the same thickness as the first carrier (11) .
