Thanks for the info Jon. Have never heard of this before. I guess with the Allante Source brake testing system no one has bothered with the DIC for ABS problems. It really is a very "simple" system. Even used in all Toyota Prius.

Interesting. Don't believe I could have missed something like this. Probably because I have never seen the DIC mentioned concerning the brake system. It is pretty "straight forward." I didn't even think of using the DIC when I had my brake problem. You've pretty well diagnosed yours if the pump is running every time you apply the brakes. (Unless you have one horrendous fluid leak.)
Good luck

Master cylinder "AND" accumulator. Far as I have read they have always been recommended to be replaced together for a permanent fix.

Agree .. but .. when I said that, he responded with something along the lines that he did it exactly as Dick said .. strange thing to see posted .. I just cant see Dick recommending the buy of separate components specially from another source other than the tested assy from allantesource.

Exactly, and when my problem appeared and with my first talk with Dick he suggested replacing both with rebuilt parts which sounds exactly what was eventually done at Allanter Source.
I can see any new purchaser coming to enough grief when purchasing one of these cars and the first thing that comes to mind after the first month is "get rid of it."
But once the Allante net or Cad forumn is discovered, if the advise posted is followed most problems can be immedately rectified.
