CranK Position sensor is CKP sensor, DTC is Diagnostic Trouble Code.
Reason I ask about crank sensor type is there are two main options, Hall effect or inductive. Hall effect is powered from +5v line and will work just the same at zero rpm as at 5000rpm. Inductive relies on the reluctor ring's action in a magnetic field to induce its own output voltage. If the rpm is too low, the output amplitude falls. If for the sake of argument that sensor had an imtermittent short in its winding, amplitude would fall when the short cut out x many turns. It may still output enough at high rpms but too little at low rpms.
Did you read fault codes?

you can tell what age of cars I play round with as a hobby.
