Sensor is a yellow thing in the left hand front beake air duct.
OBC gives this minus reading if it is disconnected, (or no longer there).

Do you possibly think it was disconnected when they guys in the garage were installing a new power steering pump and rack?

Doesn't have to be disturbed when changing the rack and pump, but it's not far away from the theatre of operations either.
