Check the crankshaft position sensor and the connections to it.

First check the plug on the sensor for being fully seated. Remove it and re-plug it.
Located at/behind the crank pulley about the 7 o'clock position.
If the same code reappears after it is cleared, either test the sensor or replace it for the relitive low cost. It counts pulses from a toothed wheel as a way to tell the computer where the starting point is for all timed engine controls.
