P0500 code randomly pops up with a check engine light on. Speedometer works fine, no loose connections at sensor. The sensor is the original one.

The simpliest solution is to reset the code and see it clears. Depending on your model its on eithe rear axle or transmission.

It's your speed sensor at the transfercase on the drivers side i believe. Check the wire and clip to the sensor for any break or loose contacts.
Easy fix and is about a 30 min job to do with simple tools.
Un-clip the wire conntection, remove the retainer bolt and slide and sensor out. To install just do everything in reverse and add transmisson oil if needed.
Most of the time, it's going to be the sensor. Keep in mind that there are two sensor's so make sure it's the one on the output shaft at the transfercase. The other one is closer to the front of the transmission on the same side with is the input Volosity speed sensor.
If it was your ABS sensor, you ABS light would come on in your dash.
Good luck and hope this helps

P0500 -speed sensor malfunction --problem can be as easy as replacing the speed sensor or as difficult as trying to find a shorted wire in the speed circuit also can be if the car is not riding on the proper stock tires [tire diameter was changed to bigger or smaller and the pcm--computer--was not configured for the change]
