Kadjar engine stalls at idle

My 2015 Renault Kadjar with a gasoline engine (88645 km) starts poorly and stalls at idle. The check engine light is on. I suspect the camshaft sensor. Could the encoder wheel on the camshafts be the cause?

I have a Kadjar and had similar issues. Was it the camshaft position sensor or perhaps the crankshaft sensor?

Thanks. Could you elaborate on how you determined it was the camshaft position sensor, and what the repair consisted of?

The diagnostic pointed specifically to the camshaft sensor in my case. Given the symptoms, it's likely the same issue. A workshop visit is probably your best bet.

Thank you. I visited a local repair shop. The camshaft sensor was defective, leading to a replacement. The repair cost was 695€. The car now runs as expected.
