The accumulator stores brake fluid under very high pressure. An electric pump keeps the accumulator pressurized with brake fluid. When you press the brake pedal, pressurized fluid from the accumulator operates the brakes.
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.
To depressurize the accumulator on an ABS brake system, first ensure the vehicle is off and safely secured. Locate the accumulator and identify the pressure release valve or bleed screw. Carefully open the valve or screw to release the hydraulic pressure, allowing brake fluid to escape until the system is depressurized. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and safety precautions when performing this procedure.
To replace the brake accumulator on a 1989 Jaguar XJS, first ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secure. Disconnect the negative battery terminal, then locate the brake accumulator, usually found near the master cylinder. Use a wrench to carefully remove the accumulator by unscrewing it from its mounting point, and replace it with the new unit, tightening it securely. After installation, reconnect the battery and bleed the brake system to remove any air.
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
To replace the ABS accumulator on a Jaguar XJS, first, safely elevate and secure the vehicle. Disconnect the battery, then locate the accumulator, which is usually situated near the ABS pump. Remove the hydraulic lines and mounting bolts, then take out the old accumulator and install the new one, ensuring all connections are tight. Finally, bleed the brake system to remove any air before reconnecting the battery and testing the system.

The "ABS Brake Failure Low Brake Pressure" warning on your 1989 Jaguar XJ6 may indicate an issue with the ABS system, and the accumulator (the round black ball) is a common culprit. If the accumulator is failing or has lost its charge, it can result in low brake pressure and trigger the warning. Additionally, check for any leaks in the brake lines or the ABS pump itself. It's recommended to have the system inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue accurately.
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.
