Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9416371A1] The invention relates to a system for operating a heating element (114) of a ceramic sensor (112) which is fitted in the exhaust gas channel (104) of an internal combustion engine (100) and can be heated by the heating element (114). If the operating mode of the internal combustion engine (100) is such that there could be liquid in its exhaust gas channel (104), the heating element (114) is not operated or is controlled in such a way that the ceramic sensor (112) is run below a critical temperature (TSeK). Above the critical temperature (TSe) there is the danger that the ceramic sensor (112) may be damaged by contact with the liquid.
