I think panicking and replacing the ABS unit out of fear is way over the top. If the ABS unit fails, you just have standard brakes. The stopping power of the car is not affected, depending on the surface, your control ability may be compromised if you're not a skilled driver. Take the car out, get up to 30mph or so and slam HARD on the brakes, enough to lock them up. If the brake pedal pulsates, the ABS is fine. There's no way to flush the ABS pump without cycling it. If the brake fluid is maintained as it should be, there's no reason to ever flush the ABS pump.
