A brake accumulator is a device that holds brake fluid at a very high pressure. It is an important part of a proper brake system.
if the check brake light is on, the accumulator is bad. this part will run 700.00for a rebuilt one. the other option is to replace the brake system with a non anti-lock brake system
Low brake bressure can be caused by a worn accumulator, poor pump performance, a bypassing brake booster or an inaccurate pressure sensor. To test your brake accumulator, turn the key to the on position and pump the brake pedal. A properly functioning accumulator will give you 25-30 brake applications before the low brake pressure light illuminates
turn off car and pump the brake pedal until pressure is relieved
3000 PSI

The function of accumulator in hydraulic system is to receive and store excess oil pumped through the system, which is used to compensate sudden increase in loads.
right before the compressor
The accumulator is a component on the low pressure (vacuum) side of an air conditioning system which uses a fixed orifice tube - they won't be found on a Thermal Expansion Valve system.
Have an ASE certified technician in an EPA certified service shop do it. This task involves recovery and storage of the refrigerant in the system - purging the system in a manner which releases it into the atmosphere is illegal under federal law. Then the accumulator can be removed. If you remove the accumulator, you'll need to replace it.
It stores and meters out excess freon as needed by the a/c system it also dries moisture from system
and to explain a little more the brake system is electric assist, they are not fully locked i can still drive it but my rear brakes are doing all the work, how would i know if its the calipers or the accumulator motor?
