A system for assisting regeneration of depollution included in an exhaust system of a motor vehicle engine by switching the engine between operation in lean mode and operation in rich mode, depending on various parameters for controlling the operation of the engine, which includes a lambda probe placed in the exhaust gas outlet from the engine, and which corrects at least one of the operating parameters of the engine in order to provide closed-loop regulation of the richness of the exhaust gas about a target value while the engine is operating in rich mode.
