Lexus RC Check Engine Light

Experiencing check engine light, reduced power, and poor engine response on my 2020 Lexus RC hybrid (94732 km). Diagnostic says crankshaft to camshaft reference value fault. Suspecting crankshaft sensor. Similar issues anyone?

I had something similar happen with my RC. Check engine light, sluggish performance... Drove me nuts. Did you check the cam sensor too? Could be either the crankshaft or cam sensor messing things up.

Thanks. Were your cam sensor symptoms constant or intermittent? Did the diagnostic specifically point to the crankshaft sensor, or suggest a broader timing issue?

Mine were pretty constant once they started. The diagnostic pointed to a timing issue, but it turned out to be the crankshaft sensor. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to confirm, just to be sure.

Appreciate the advice. Workshop confirmed it was the crankshaft sensor. Repair cost was 340€. Thanks again for the help.
