Default Brake bleed ABS Unit cycling

Is there a way to cycle the ABS unit while bleeding the brake system? I did STFA.

Default Speculating, but...

that might be problematic for a few reasons:

The ABS unit primarly serves to limit the flow of fluid to a locked/locking wheel. If it activates in ABS it might only impede bleeding.

If the car has EDL, the ABS unit can apply a brake, or, in other words, send fluid to a wheel under high pressure.

A normal brake bleed should force fluid through the ABS unit anyway, flushing out air and old fluid.
