Where to start

Try the cheapest cause first. Start by checking: damaged reluctor / tone ring.
Cost & scope. $100-$1,000
If the code returns after the fix: escalate to a shop or scanner with live-data and freeze-frame. A code that re-sets means the underlying fault is still there. Don't keep driving with this one active — risk of damage.
