Default help needed just replaced starter now check engine light code 42

i recently had a starter take a crap on my 2000 flstf due to it hanging up and riding on the flywheel, i replaced the starter, filled all my fluid back up started the bike to check for leaks and engine light comes on for about 8 seconds after running and goes back out, performed the pin 1/2 procedure to check fault code, getting fault 42 for cam position sensor, any ideas of why all of a sudden this has come up had bottom end built 5k ago with same fault due to faulty tensioner and clogged oil pump have had no issues till now, any help would be appreciated, im out of warranty and on a budget thanks, dusty

maybe disconnect both battery terminals to clear and monitor for return.
