The brake fluid in the ABS solonoid assembly and pump is just for the valves in the ABS solonoid so it can acctuate them when it's necessary. You shoul never have to bleed that system or open it for that fact of the matter. It's a completely sealed off system.
On my '95 Integra, the ABS has its own fluid reservoir & bleed valve. You have to flush that fluid as well as the main brake fluid. The ABS reservoir cap has a vent so air & moisture can get in. Besides, the manual says to refresh it...
Our '98 Accord doesn't have a separate system. When you bleed the main brakes, it flows thru the ABS system. So you ARE bleeding the ABS while you bleed the main brakes.
I don't know which system the earlier Accords are similar to, but I wouldn't say that it's not needed.
