A gas measurement system includes a sensor element and an associated electronic control unit (ECU) or the like connected thereto for receiving sensor element emf outputs. The ECU is configured to provide output signals or parameters indicative of ammonia and heavy HC gas concentrations. The sensor element has an NH₃ sensor electrode output and a NO_x sensor electrode output.
