Hydraulic Pressure Accumulator, aka the "Bomb",

[Christopher Ritchie]

I am not sure about autocheck system but brake red warning bulb
can be on due
to bad bomb or leaking servo unit.

Yes, it is either a bad "bomb" or leaking servo.  But both seem to pass 
their Bentley tests.  I am trying to distinguish which is the likely 
culprit.

I am wondering if this symptom - Autocheck warning soon after start up - 
means anything "per se."

The shut-off-the-engine-pump-the-pedal "bomb" test was inconclusive.  (Maybe 
that's the answer.)
