    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide An oxygen sensor (160) control module (100) for a vehicle, comprising input means (130) for receiving one or more signals (135) indicative of a likelihood of future engine cranking, an output means (140) to provide an output signal (145) to cause activation of a heater (150) associated with the oxygen sensor, and processing means (110) arranged to control, in dependence on the one or more signals (135) indicative of the likelihood of future engine cranking, the output means (140) to provide the output signal (145) to cause activation of the heater (150) associated with the oxygen sensor (160) prior to the engine cranking.
