Which of the following is NOT a true statement about a starter's current draw test?

The correct answer is that a starter's current draw test should not necessarily be limited to when the engine is cold. While it is often beneficial to check the current draw of the starter when the engine is cold to obtain a baseline measurement and eliminate variables such as heat-related expansion affecting electrical connections, this does not mean that the test cannot be performed when the engine is warm. Current draw can still provide valuable diagnostic information regardless of engine temperature, as long as the technician is aware of any potential differences that heat may introduce. Therefore, stating that the test must occur only when the engine is cold is not accurate, allowing for more flexibility in testing conditions.

In contrast, statements about current draw relating to different engine sizes reflecting inherent mechanical demands, the potential for circuit resistance to create abnormal current readings, and the importance of maintaining battery voltage during the test are all true. These aspects help ensure that the starter system is assessed effectively for performance and reliability.
