    My engine light came on last week. Take the care to a diagnostic and code that comes up is p0016 which is a camshaft sensor. I have taken the car to the garage and they told me is a 4 hours job and gave me a pretty expensive price for it to be changed 350£. Was wandering if it is something that I can do myself. Had a look online but the problem is that I'm not sure which one is the sensor as I keep finding different diagrams online. Can anyone help me locate the sensor.

    If you've got a Gen 2 as your profile says, it's the 1NZ-FXE engine, and the cam sensor sticks out the end of the cylinder head toward the middle of the engine bay.

    What kind of code reader was used, and was it hybrid compatible.

    You may want to read this thread first before buying parts and doing the work yourself.
