Thanks for the quick response! I did give the wiring and connectors a quick look, but nothing jumped out at me. I'll definitely take a closer look this weekend. As for engine noises, nothing out of the ordinary that I can hear. If it is the sensor, is it a straightforward replacement, or is there anything else I should be looking at while I'm in there?

If the wiring checks out, and there are no unusual noises it unfortunately does point to the sensor itself. Replacing it isn't too difficult, but you will need to make sure you have the correct tools. It might be worth getting a professional diagnosis, especially with a hybrid. It might save you money and stress in the long run.

Appreciate the advice. I took it to my local shop. They confirmed it was the crankshaft sensor. Got it replaced; 340€, parts and labor. Runs like a charm again!

That crankshaft/camshaft correlation error can be a pain. It does sound like the crank sensor, but have you checked the wiring and connectors to the sensor? Sometimes a loose or corroded connection can cause weird issues like this. Also, is the engine making any unusual noises?
