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.
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.
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

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.
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
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.
A mechanical, or electrical accumulator???
Accumulator is what the British call a capacitor.
The size of the accumulator is the same,means 64bit.
As a rule, you'll need to purchase an appropriate re-seal kit for your accumulator. You will then need to disassemble your accumulator, clean everything and reassemble the accumulator with the new seals that came in your kit.
