This is an intermittent error caused by the lack of signal occasionally from either the cam or the crank sensor. I would remove and clean both. Check the wiring connections both to the sensors and back to the ECU. Sometimes a bit of dirt or corrosion can interrupt things a little bit so a good clean and brush up usually does the trick. Unplugging and plugging connectors a few times helps make fresh connection. If in doubt replace both.

Check connections to crank sensor, then reset your comp by disconnecting your battery cables and holding them together. Make sure to have the code cleared as well.
