Good approach.
I've checked it an found out the following:
According to the original circuit diagram, it looks as if the clutch monitoring is only installed (and active) in (manual) vehicles in North America and Canada, while this is not the case here in Europe. (Really no idea why)
In any case, a clutch pedal switch is not installed in my vehicle and the corresponding cables are not present at this point.

Is there any other known fact that can prevent the engine from start ?

So is it a tiptronic or manual?

Manual, WITH clutch of course, but without clutch monitoring switch.
