Brake Fluid Flush

Brake Fluid Flush
I have no performance issues with the brakes; it's past time to replace the fluid so I want to change it out using the old two person pump the brake and bleed and refill until new fluid comes out each bleeder.
Based on the location of the master cylinder, is RR, LR, RF, LF the right sequence for bleeding?
Do I have to do anything with the ABS module like pulling the fuse?
As long as I don't empty the reservoir and keep pressure on the brake pedal while a bleeder valve is cracked open, will the old fashioned method work with ABS?

I would pick up a vacuum hand pump kit at harbor freight for $30 and hook up and bleed with vacuum to the catch bottle. When you get fresh fluid to the bottle move to the next wheel. Do it slowly/not in a hurry. Have the other person keep topping off the reservoir with good new brake fluid. Don't use brake fluid that has been sitting around inthe garage as it absorbs water in storage. You want a new Container of brake fluid in your reservoir. Both of you "Wear" nitril gloves and eye protection. I would disconnect the battery before starting to bleed and reconnect letting it relearn, following the relearn sequences warming up the motor during several running cycles after you have finished bleeding.
