CUSTOMER CONCERN
The brake warning lamps are on, DTC C1256 is stored, and the brake accumulator pump does not run.
CAUSE
Battery power on the large green and white/red circuits and ground on the large white/black circuit were verified, confirming an internal failure of the brake actuator assembly.
CORRECTION
Remove and replace the failed brake actuator assembly, perform the required brake-system bleed and calibration procedures, clear DTC C1256, and verify normal accumulator-pump and brake-system operation.
