Do you hear the alb pump running every time you start it up? Dose it take about 30 seconds for the light to come one? Dose the light come on after the pump has stopped running? Do you have any external leaks around the modulator/accumulator?
If all this apples you may just need to bleed the system.

You can also read the code do some research on shorting the scs connector and counting the blinks.

No external leak, I did bleed the system, but the light is still on.
One thing I was not able to check to see if the pump is running.

Did you bleed the brake system or the alb system? To bleed the alb system you have to keep the separate reservoir at the full mark at all times, turn the car on (this lets the pump run) turn the car off and turn the bleed screw on the modulator. Fluid will shoot out so turn it slow. Do this a couple of times.

If you never got anything out of the bleed screw you probably have a bad pump or accumulator. You HAVE to keep the fluid above the full mark on the separate reservoir or this will give you a false diagnosis and when I say shoot out I mean shoot out, 5 feet or so.
