Currently have the same issue with both lights coming on. They came on when 
I started my car to drive home on Fri. Got home turned the car off and 
waited 10 secs, restarted the car and they were off. Happened before, about 
a week ago. Car is currently in the shop and that is one of the things I 
told them to take a  look. at.Will keep ya updated.

Just try the bomb test yourself,  quote taken from here: 
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/trouble_shooting/brake.html

"One test for the accumulator, is to run the engine for a few minutes, turn 
off the engine, and then pump the brake pedal until the pedal feels hard, 
( no more power assist). Normally with a good, working accumulator, this 
test takes 25-35 pumps on the pedal before the pedal gets hard. If the pedal 
gets hard with only a few pumps on the pedal, the brake accumulator is 
defective and should be replaced."
