NO, absolutely NOT!
There are multiple separate circuits in the F125, the Gearbox ECU uses a completely separate set of physical tracks/contacts to the starter relay.
The contacts relevant to the starter relay are NOT monitored in any way by VCDS, they're purely "old school" wiring.
The five arcs bottom/left are the ECU information tracks, the four at the top are for starter (9/10) and reversing lights (7/8).
(Numbers relate to the 10-pin plug, 6 is unused)
