Default Car would not start this morning

So interesting experience today. My car would not start at all.

The radio and screen would turn on briefly seats and steering wheel would start to adjust then quit and reset after a few seconds. I figured it was the battery and called AAA after a few times. It started after a few more kicks. However the check engine light illuminated. I read the codes and this is what they are:

OBD2 - confirmed:
P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

OBD2 - pending:
P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

OBD2 - permanent:
P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

Engine:
P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

Engine:
P1604

ABS:
C1241 - Low Battery Positive Voltage


AAA came and tested the battery and said the battery checked out. So I reset the codes and read it again. the two codes that remained are:

Engine:
P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

Engine:
P1604

ABS:
C1241 - Low Battery Positive Voltage


The check engine light remained off. I read up on the P0335 code and I guess that could be the issue of my car not starting. I also have a low battery on my key fob, I had to tap the fob to the start button in order to start the car. I honestly thought about selling her today out of frustration. Anybody else experience these issues?

Happened to my 2010 GS once, found out it was just a dead battery in the key fob. I changed it and car started it up so now I have a spare brand new battery in the glove box just incase I'm in the middle of no where .

The same thing happened when I had my 09 ES 350. I came out of the grocery store and my car wouldn't start. It just turned out to be a dead key FOB battery, replaced it and all was good. I believe it takes a CR2032 battery.

Change out those batteries every Christmas and you will avoid those problems.

So I took my car to the dealer yesterday. They ran all kind of tests and could not find any issue. That's a little disheartening. I may have to get rid of her now, she lost my trust...

Was your car sitting for a few days before this happened?

I know how you feel. My car has done this 6 times now.. My closest dealer is 3 1/2 hours away. The first time, it was a cam shaft sensor. The second was a dead key fob battery, third was because the replacement key fob battery was junk. The rest were other sensors and a faulty car battery, don't remember specifically. I'll have to dig out my paperwork. But it's been fine for a while now. I still hate her for it though.

Nope. She's my daily driver. I had her out the night before everything was fine. Woke up the next morning and this happened.
