Trac light on code 43 and 54 maybe accumulator
I just bought my 92 sc400 from a car lot. They don't know any history on the vehicle. The "trac" light is on. I checked the codes and they are 43 and 54. I talked to the dealer and they said that the accumulator is ussually the problem because they loose there charge. I read about bleeding the trac system. I did try to bleed the actuator. I open the bleeder on it and then started the car. it took about 5 seconds before any fluid started coming out. I closed the valve and reset the codes. I drove the car around the block. the trac light came back on immediately. When I returned home I opened the bleeder valve on the actuator with the engine off and fluid came out. The codes are still the same. The brake master cylinder is really dirty on the inside of the clear container and the brake fluid is really dark in color. I think I need to do a brake fluid flush. I have read alot of threads on it but I need to know if I need to bleed the master cylinder too or just the trac system first then each wheel cylinder? Can anybody tell me how to check to see if the accumulator is ok or what it takes to repair this issue? I have heated seats in my sc but they do not work. When I turn the switches on the lights come on but the seats don't heat up. Also can someone tell me if the bottom of the seats are the only thing that is heated or are the backs heated too?

I put the high pressure hose on the accumulator and bled both the accumulator and the accuator and no more trac light or trouble codes. It was a hundred dollar repair. Now to fix my CEL trouble code 25.
