    1990 Buick Regal Coupe Brakes Problem [long]

    Hello,

    I have a problem with brakes in this great GM 1990 ABS brakes systems
    Sometimes (always after night) when i push brake pedal the brake light (red)
    is lighting for about 3-4 seconds.
    ABS pump is works. The same thing is coming when i push the brake pedal 3 or
    4 times (pumping).
    Where is the problem??
    Accumulator or Pressure Sensor??
    Or both??
    In Poland (I live here so sorry for my English) is very expensive to find
    the problem.
    Master Cylinder is early new from USA.
    Anybody have this problem??

    Greetings

    How about checking the fluid level in the reservoir? Maybe add about one ounce
    of the correct brake fluid.

    or 

    I would guess that you probably need a new
    accumulator. This is the black ball type looking
    thing screwed into the side of the ABS unit.
    It was a common problem back in those days.

    In order to properly diagnose it, you would
    need some special tools to be able to monitor
    the amount of time it takes the ABS motor
    to bring the system up to specified pressures.
    But that's normally the one item that went
    belly up. Anything more.....and you are usually
    looking at replacing the entire ABS unit which
    is quite expensive.
