Re: ABS brake problem

Hi Guys,
I have a similar problem except my pedal is soft and has no pressure (Pedal to the metal) an not the good kind.... The brake fluid seemed to have run back into the reservoir and the level is above the Full mark. I was told to replace the Accumulator as there was a recall for the part...since mine is a Jap Import I lost out on the recall and it cost me N$ 3300 from the stealers. I replaced the part and carried out the specified bleed procedure but the buzzer and abs light is still on and screaming and pedal still soft with no brakes. When I turn on the ignition the pump runs for 30 secs then switches off then on again a few seconds later and so on. The brake fluid does not seem to run to the brakes as the reservoir remains the same level. Was thinking it could be a problem with the master cylinder but can only confirm it by building out the whole unit. Anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks
