Chevrolet Groove Crankshaft Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Chevrolet Groove exhibited issues such as reduced engine power, poor response, and increased fuel consumption, with a check engine light indicating a crankshaft to camshaft reference value problem. These symptoms suggested a potential defect in the crankshaft sensor. It was advised to check the sensor and its wiring, but ultimately, professional inspection confirmed the sensor was defective, and replacing it resolved the issues.

I haven't noticed any obvious misfiring, but the engine definitely feels less smooth. I didn't check the wiring yet, as I wasn't sure where to start. Could you tell me where to find the crank sensor and how to check the wiring? Is it easy to get to?

On my Groove, the crank sensor was located near the lower front of the engine, close to the crankshaft pulley. Access isn't great without lifting the car. Honestly, given the symptoms and the error code, I'd suggest getting it checked by a professional. A defective crank sensor aligns with everything. It could save you time and prevent further issues.

I took your advice and brought it to a workshop. Turns out, the crankshaft sensor was indeed defective. The repair cost me 340€, but the car is running smoothly again. I really appreciate your help!

I once had a similar issue with my Groove. The symptoms you describe sound awfully familiar. Was there any misfiring, even occasional? In my case, the error code also pointed to a synchronization problem between the crankshaft and camshaft. Did you check the wiring to the sensor?
