My vehicle wouldn't crank, but there was power to my gauges.

I popped the hood, and noticed that the battery terminal was a bit loose. I tightened it, and it cranked fine.

My engine light now stayed on, and the error code that I read was for :

"crankshaft position sensor A circuit malfunction"

Does that sound like an additional problem, or is it just telling me that the battery circuit was malfunctioning?

Thanks, and Merry Christmas.
