It sounds like your ahc pump is having some issues. Keep in mind that your pump motor can still run (so the fault can go undetected) but the pump can fail to move the fluids. Number of reasons cause this issue, inlcuding air creap past the shaft seal into the pump, damages pressure valve and nitrogen depletion (that last one is not likely since you mentioned that your accumulators are fine). The best way to diagnose if this is true is to manually operate the ahc pump and see if fluids are moving. If this is the case, the best solution is replace the pump sub assembly. Don't forget to bleed the system after the replacement

Thanks Dave,
If the accums are defective will that prevent the pump from working and give me that indication? I have replaced them before with the B & B accums and I have not had much luck I think it's time for me to purchase them from Lexus. And operating the pump manually is that difficult to do and what type of equipment would I need?
