Just FYI, You should only be getting 5v at the CPS but on the HDi, I'm not sure which pin that is lol.

There are several sensors which run on 5v but personally i wouldn't. you don't want to damage your ECU at all! Also, are you earthing your meter to the body of the car or the earth pin in the plug when testing?

i was useing the earth pin. would it make a difference useing body of car?

Try it to the body. A lot of the sensor earths are shared but if your using the sensor earth, it could be a dmaged earth rather than line
