Abstract
A gas sensor device is equipped with a pump cell and a sensor cell. The pump cell works to regulate the concentration of oxygen in a measurement gas space. The sensor cell works to measure an oxygen ion current flowing between a sensor electrode and a reference electrode. The gas sensor device is designed to subtract the oxygen ion current value I2, as measured by the sensor cell a given period of time after spraying of fuel into the internal combustion engine is interrupted, from the oxygen ion current value I1, as measured by the sensor cell when the fuel is being sprayed into the internal combustion engine, to derive the concentration of a given gas component based on the corrected oxygen ion current value I. This results in improved accuracy in determining the concentration of the given gas component.
