Cross fingers, check pentosin level. When that isn't it, replace the bomb.
The bomb is the pressure accumulator on left side, under front frame rail.
One hour's work the first time, $250 for the part. Worth doing. If you are
saving up for the bomb, disconnect the two wires on the pressure sensor on
the brake booster and that will placate the autocheck. (Shame! Shame!)
