J1850 is a comms standard for OBD, not a code.
Usually your type of issues are a sign of bad power such as failing battery or poor wires/connections, but possibly water/damp in the trunk (remove spare and look very very thoroughly).
But it could be the RH rear wheel sensor, of course. Your different reading supports that. Often "rust" type debris on it so it may clean. Yours would more likely be a bad connection or failed sensor I think.
