Just to clarify - My primary focus is on the spill control valve power cable. There is no voltage on the cable.
I have attached a photo - the cable marked in blue is the culprit.
Any ideas why there is no power on the cable?

Just FYI: The spill valve never gets a constant voltage. It is pulsed by the ECU to end the injection (spill) event for each cylinder. This how the ECU controls fuel quantity. If a constant voltage is forced on the spill valve, it ruins it. Some people do this by mistake as it would be correct procedure on a mechanical diesel for testing the fuel shut off solenoid.
Can you post a picture of the ground at your battery that goes to the body (specifically, the body end)? If you have a bad ground there, you won't see the right voltages while testing the electrical at relays etc.
There is a Denso ECD-V3 manual that explains how the electronic diesel works. It's really helpful for this sort of troubleshooting. It's actually really simple once you learn it. No worse than a same year gas motor for example.
Here is the Denso manual:
