Abstract
A gas sensor includes a solid electrolyte body with oxygen ion conductivity, a gas flow portion (ranging from a gas inlet port to a second inner cavity), a particular gas detector (including a main pump cell, a measurement pump cell, an auxiliary pump cell, etc.), and a control device. Prior to startup of the gas sensor, the control device sets electric power supplied to a heater such that a temperature difference between a temperature of the heater and a preset target temperature becomes zero, and determines, on the basis of the set electric power, whether temperature raising control of supplying the set electric power to the heater is to be executed.
