Method for determining a corrected air mass flow value in an internal combustion engine, which has an air mass meter arranged in an intake tract of the internal combustion engine, the method comprising: - determining a cold start condition of the internal combustion engine at at least one first time, at which there is still no air mass flow in the intake tract, - producing at least one reference signal by means of the air mass meter at the at least one first time, - determining at least one air mass flow offset from the at least one reference signal of the air mass meter, - producing a measurement signal by means of the air mass meter at at least one second time, which is not equal to the at least one first time and is in an operating period of the internal combustion engine, - determining an air mass flow value from the measurement signal of the air mass meter, - determining the corrected air mass flow value from the at least one air mass flow offset and the air mass flow value, and - determining an air mass flow correction value from the at least one air mass flow offset, - wherein the corrected air mass flow value is determined by subtracting a predetermined proportion of the air mass flow correction value determined from the air mass flow value, - wherein the predetermined proportion is in a range of approximately 50% to approximately 99%, in particular in a range of approximately 70% to approximately 95%, and - wherein the predetermined proportion depends on a sensitivity and/or a raw characteristic curve of an air mass meter arranged to produce the measurement signal. - determining a cold start condition of the internal combustion engine at at least one first time, at which there is still no air mass flow in the intake tract, - producing at least one reference signal by means of the air mass meter at the at least one first time, - determining at least one air mass flow offset from the at least one reference signal of the air mass meter, - producing a measurement signal by means of the air mass meter at at least one second time, which is not equal to the at least one first time and is in an operating period of the internal combustion engine, - determining an air mass flow value from the measurement signal of the air mass meter, - determining the corrected air mass flow value from the at least one air mass flow offset and the air mass flow value, and - determining an air mass flow correction value from the at least one air mass flow offset, - wherein the corrected air mass flow value is determined by subtracting a predetermined proportion of the air mass flow correction value determined from the air mass flow value, - wherein the predetermined proportion is in a range of approximately 50% to approximately 99%, in particular in a range of approximately 70% to approximately 95%, and - wherein the predetermined proportion depends on a sensitivity and/or a raw characteristic curve of an air mass meter arranged to produce the measurement signal. - wherein the corrected air mass flow value is determined by subtracting a predetermined proportion of the air mass flow correction value determined from the air mass flow value, - wherein the predetermined proportion is in a range of approximately 50% to approximately 99%, in particular in a range of approximately 70% to approximately 95%, and - wherein the predetermined proportion depends on a sensitivity and/or a raw characteristic curve of an air mass meter arranged to produce the measurement signal. <EOS>
