Abstract
Apparatus is provided for detecting faults in a sensor providing an output voltage representative of aeration of a combustible mixture. The apparatus comprises a control box which checks whether the value of a reference voltage with which the output voltage is compared to control the aeration is suitable for causing an intended value of the aeration to be maintained.
