Low Volts to Cam Angle Sensor

Hi Guys
Im just finishing off an engine swap on my T5R
Went to fire up this morning and No Spark
Have traced the fault to a 2 volt input to the cam angle sensor , by all accounts this should be around battery voltage
Swapping out the ECU has not changed the issue
Can anybody give me a lead as where to look next ? Where is the power put into the ECU Can I meter it ?
Is there an easy way to check the continuity of that CAngle wiring
Thanks

There are 2 types of camshaft sensors: supply voltage is 12 Volts for both types, and signal voltages are 12 V or 5 V. I need to know your ECU and camshaft sensor part numbers to give you correct answer.

Thanks Azik09 Attached are photos of the hardware
Ive checked the cables from the ecu to the camshaft sensor , there is good continuity and no voltage drop

Even with a spare ecu installed i still get just over 2 volts at pin 3 on the sensor plug and less than half a volt on pin 2

I've been looking for the A6 pin ( ignition system ) on my onboard diagnostic system this seems to be missing
I only have 4 sockets installed on the A receptacle
