Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns a method for controlling an exhaust gas sensor, such as a potentiometer, in a motor vehicle, delivering an electric current voltage characteristic of the concentration of the species to be measured, and comprising a device for maintaining the sensing element temperature close to the nominal temperature. Said method consists in monitoring the sensor output signal for an engine operating mode generating a minimum sensitivity of said signal to temperature and in adapting said signal to degrading modes for minimising the sensor sensitivity.
