How does the accumulator work in an ABS system?
These pumps create pressure for the hold-release-reapply cycle and typically provide pressure for brake assist as well. The accumulator stores pressure for the system. They utilize a nitrogen gas charge that’s separated from the pressurized hydraulic fluid by a thick rubber diaphragm.
How does an electric pump in an ABS system work?
The electric pump is operated by a relay that receives a control signal from the ABS control module. These pumps create pressure for the hold-release-reapply cycle and typically provide pressure for brake assist as well. The accumulator stores pressure for the system.
How often do you need to depressurize an ABS accumulator?
When filled with pressurized fluid from the pump, these accumulators can reach dangerous pressures and must be handled with care. They are typically depressurized by pulling the relay and pumping the brake pedal 25-40 times before any repairs can be performed.
How do you depressurize an ABS brake system?
They are typically depressurized by pulling the relay and pumping the brake pedal 25-40 times. Always check manufacturer service manuals and TSB’s before repairing any ABS brake system.
