Brake fluid flush ... any special procedure for ABS? 200 1993

In conjunction with my recent post about a strange brake pedal feel, I was wondering if I had done my brake fluid flush adequately or properly.

I used a positive pressure method (fluid under pressure forced in the M/C), rather than the vacuum method ("sucking" fluid out through the bleeders).

But I just did the usual procedure (opening caliper bleeders). I was wondering, should I have done something specific regarding the ABS unit? I couldn't find a bleeder on the big ABS "box" -- should I have "pounded the brake pedal" or something else to ensure that I also flushed the fluid inside various "cavities" or passageways inside that big ABS box?

In advance, Thanks.

Ken C.
