I'm trying to do this myself, but if it's too complex I would like advice so I can go to a mechanic. My scope of car mechanics is brakes, alternators, power steering pumps, etc. Anything inside an engine and I refer to a mechanic.

Vehicle: 2004 Toyota Prius

C1256 Accumulator low pressure

Has a brake job been perfromed?  Anytime the brake pads are retracted you can set certain code, especially if it has rear pads and they have been retracted, If this is the case a scan tool that can set the brake linear will be needed and a brake pressure bleeder will be needed. You need special scan tools that can do brake hydraulic system. and will be able to see the brake pressure of the brake acculmulator. The bad part of this code condition if it turn out to be low accumulator pressure the whole brake acuator assembly is replaced. These are jobs that carry liability let a shop do this.
