The invention relates to a method for calibrating and validating a lambda probe with an ionization electrode during an air ratio controlled combustion of a fuel-air mixture, wherein exhaust gas signal values of the lambda probe are used to control the air ratio and the flame signal values of the ionization electrode are used to validate the lambda probe. The invention further relates to a method for aligning a lambda probe and to a method for the air ratio controlled combustion of a fuel-air mixture. The aim of the invention is to create methods for calibrating, validating and aligning a lambda probe which result in sufficiently reliable results in terms of a validation and optionally an alignment of the lambda probe function, without using a stoichiometric reference operating point. The method according to the invention for calibration and validation is characterized in that at least one calibration point and/or at least one signal value curve are calculated in advance from measured signal values, and a validation of the lambda probe is carried out on the basis of the at least one calibration point and/or on the basis of the at least one signal value curve by evaluating a deviation from a reference value, and in the case of positive validation, the lambda probe is released for the air ratio controlled combustion, and in the case of negative validation, the lambda probe is realigned. |
