Micah,
The car should be running, warmed up, etc and sitting still at idle for a minute or so....quickly pump the brake pedal and see how many times you get prior to an ABS or BRAKE FLUID light to illuminate. Indie said basically anything over 8 pumps and the accumulator is OK if you get the light(s) in only a few pumps, it's bad and the ABS system will malfunction due to low pressure available for a panic stop.
Hope that helps, it kept me from making a mistake dignosing brakes on a potential car buy.
