Abstract: A method, for a system (9) comprising at least one electronic component (1-3), at least one component temperature sensor (4-6) associated with said at least one electronic component (1-3) and at least one environment temperature sensor (4-7), for calibrating said at least one component temperature sensor (4-6), comprising the following steps: before or upon starting the system (9), measuring the temperatures of said at least one component temperature sensor (4-6) and said at least one environment temperature sensor (4-7), determining a reference temperature from the temperatures measured, calculating, for each component temperature sensor (4-6), an offset such that the temperature measurement of the component temperature sensor (4-6), corrected by the offset, equals the reference temperature, correcting by applying the offset to each subsequent temperature measurement.
