A cranking current test on a diesel engine indicates low current draw.Which of the following faults would NOT be responsible for low current draw?
A) partially discharged batteries
B) low viscosity engine oil
C) high resistance in the ground circuit
D) high resistance in the insulated circuit

Low viscosity engine oil would not be responsible for low current draw during a cranking current test on a diesel engine. In fact, lower viscosity oil would likely reduce the resistance to engine cranking, potentially reducing the current draw needed to crank the engine. High resistance in electrical circuits or partially discharged batteries would increase the current draw, while low viscosity oil would have the opposite effect.
