A method for operating an air mass sensor arranged in the intake section of an internal combustion engine and configured to measure the mass of the air flowing through the intake section includes the air mass sensor detecting a stationary state of the internal combustion engine using an element for evaluating measurement signals generated by an air mass sensor element, and, in response to detection of a stationary state, switching the air mass sensor element into a second operating mode that reduces contamination of the air mass sensor element. The second operating mode permits at least one measurement of the air mass flowing in the intake section, as a result of which the air mass sensor itself detects a starting of the internal combustion engine using the element for evaluating the measurement signals generated by the air mass sensor element. |
