Scenic Crankshaft Camshaft Error

Hi, I'm having issues with my 2023 Renault Scenic with a gasoline engine. The check engine light is on, and the car feels like it's lost power. The engine response is terrible, and I'm burning through fuel. It's done 119386 km. A diagnostic check shows a 'Crankshaft to Camshaft Reference Value' error. Could this be a defective crankshaft sensor? Any ideas? I'm stressed!

Hey, I had a similar experience with my Scenic. Engine light was on, and the performance wasn't great. The error code pointed to issues with engine synchronization. Have you checked for any misfires?

Misfires, huh? I haven't specifically looked for misfires. How would I check for that, and is that related to the crankshaft/camshaft thing? Is it something I can fix myself?

Well, I'm no mechanic, but misfires can mess with the engine timing and throw those crankshaft/camshaft codes. Honestly, with those symptoms, it's probably best to take it to a workshop. I ended up paying about 340€ for them to sort the whole thing out. It turned out it was the crankshaft sensor. They replaced it and everything was fine.

Thanks a lot for the info! It's really helpful. I'll book it in at the workshop and tell them about the crankshaft sensor. Hopefully that's the issue and it'll get sorted quickly. Appreciate your help!
