Venza Crankshaft Camshaft Error

My 2023 Toyota Venza hybrid is throwing a 'crankshaft to camshaft reference value' error. Mileage is at 121215 km. Symptoms include check engine light, reduced engine power, poor engine response, and higher fuel consumption. I suspect a defective crank sensor, but haven't confirmed. Has anyone seen this?

Whoa, that sounds eerily familiar! I had something similar happen with my Venza, though I didn't check the error code myself. Was your fuel consumption really bad?

Fuel consumption is definitely up. I haven't checked the cam sensor yet, focusing on the crank sensor first. Was your experience also pointing to the crank sensor initially? What was the final diagnosis for your issue?

Yeah, I thought it was the crank sensor too initially. Honestly, I didn't have the tools to properly diagnose it. Eventually, I took it to a workshop. They confirmed it was the crank sensor and replaced it. Runs like new now, so better take it to a professional.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Crank sensor was indeed the culprit. Total repair cost 340€. I appreciate the help!
