09 TSX - 1st time posting!! Code p0339

New official member here, hoping to get some help from the experienced tsx community. I bought an A/T 2009 TSX over a year ago with 108K, which now currently has 140K.
2 months ago one morning it barely started, it gave me a code p0339 (crankshaft position sensor -intermittent). I had an apt I couldn’t miss so I took another car to be safe that day. It’s always ran fine, even with the code I continued to drive it daily w/o any issues. I assumed I needed a new crankshaft sensor, didn’t have the funds at the time to get an OEM one put in, wasn’t giving me issues (just a message at this point, the check engine light only showed up that one time) so I kind of ignored it.
Now it seems like it’s finally gotten worse, drove into town tonight & I felt some very minor deceleration at about 45mph. Felt more like tiny jerks, 2 jerks in about 12 miles total, only lasted a second each, i got home fine.
When i got home I shut it off & turned it back on again, it barely turned on, cut off right away. Attempted to start it again & it started right up the second time.
NOW, that it is giving me problems, I started to do some research. Being that my code is NOT a sensor malfunction but rather an intermittent signal, I’m not 100% on it just being a bad sensor. After some reading online, some posts suggested that it could be something minor causing intermittent signals such as:
*weak/bad starter (highly doubt, replaced less than a yr ago)
*weak/bad battery
*loose/corroded terminals or grounds
*loose connector
*break in harness
In the morning I’ll run to the local parts store to get my starter/battery/alternator checked. If all that checks out, my next step would be to inspect the other stuff listed above. Worst case, if I can’t find another cause I will pick up the new sensor, but I read something about a relearn process that must be done if the sensor is removed/replaced...
(would appreciate it if anyone could possibly drop a link on the relearn process or give me an idea of where to look?)

So before I complicate things or start throwing $ at it
Any of you guys had the same code/symptoms?
Found a solution or got any tips?
It’s my first post so bear with me
Appreciate any & all feedback, here’s some pictures 🙂

An intermittent problem is difficult. Electrical fault could be sensor, connectors, wiring, or PCM. Unless you DIY, the lowest cost path is 1) replace sensor and 2) get help w/ diagnostics if sensor is not the problem. See DTC P0339 diagnostic attached.

good luck

Some possible causes for DTC P0339:

Low battery. If the engine is cranked with a low battery, the ECM/PCM may incorrectly judge the crankshaft sensor position. Have the battery tested and replace it, if needed.

Aftermarket starter

My 09 TSX began giving P0339 errors intermittently shortly after changing the starter with an aftermarket brand. New OEM starter did the trick.
