Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon and 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The high pressure accumulator (HPA) and the chambers of the brake modulator assembly to which it attaches, store brake fluid at extremely high pressures. Fluid pressure must be relieved before attempting to service the HPA. Ensure that the recommended procedures are followed to relieve system pressure, including using the manual pressure release steps. Failure to properly follow procedures to depressurize the system may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution

IMPORTANT:
The ignition must be in the OFF position, without pausing at ACCESSORY, and without applying the brake pedal to ensure the brake modulator and high pressure accumulator (HPA) pressure relief occurs. This process will take approximately 1 to 3 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure brake modulator and HPA pressure relief has occurred, the manual pressure relief valve must be opened momentarily.
