Highly unlikely, but check the fuse protecting the OBD port hasn't gone pop !

Peter,
Have you checked the crankshaft wiring. If this is exposed causes lots of problems.

All looks OK have given it a good pull at the plug but nothing moves, Looks in good nick too, the plug is quite easy to remove do doesn't stress it a lot.

Any ideas what the voltages should be on the plug pins?

Peter,
I can't remember but it will either be 12 volts or 5 volts. I'll need to find my own thread about the sensor to see if I put measurements on there.
Just checked my old thread confirmed 5 volts.

Power in garage and extension leads Jim, just inside main door on the right, where the batteries are.
