ABS Pump and Brake Fluid Flush Procedure?

Hey guys, I'm about to do my 2 year brake fluid service. I just got my Castrol SRF in and am ready to go but I have one question.

I have heard that the ABS unit holds fluid and some people/dealerships possibly activate the pump to flush this system. I was looking at buying a scan tool to do this (Foxwell NT510) but I'm not sure how the procedure works.

Would I use the tool to activate the ABS pump then do the regular old school bleed like normal or operate the pump at each wheel to make sure I thoroughly flush the old fluid out of the ABS unit?

I am quite anal with all of this and try to do the best job I can but is this pump activation even needed? I haven't been able to find much on it. I have heard mixed opinions on whether the dealerships do this or not.

Thank you guys very much for the help!

Also if anyone is interested in Castrol SRF with this shortage I found a small business that has plenty as gets regular shipments if that would help you guys I could add the link.
