Might go with the Toyota tech even though he’s more on the pricy side for a piece of mind. Saving the back coil packs for future use in case the front goes out.
Just a heads up.
Not sure about the RX350 but on my car I bought the knock sensor harness too and I went with OEM.

Not very expensive at all.
Reason why is the short harness wire can go bad too and throw a knock sensor code.

What I'm trying to say is you could have a bad knock sensor or a bad knock sensor cable.

Disclaimer, this is on a RX330, no idea about the newer engine in the RX350.

Imaging how bad that would suck to do all that work and find out it was a bad cable. Haha 🤓

That’s what the ASE Toyota tech said too. He told me I should also get the harness and get it replace all at once. Might have to go that route as well.
