I think it's wise to have the ABS serviced according to the service interval indicated in the owner’s manual, witch I believe would have the ABS fluid flushed every two years.

It has been my experience that although exercising the ABS by hitting the brakes hard now and again is good preventative maintenance, it is not a permanent cure for an ABS exhibiting problems.

ABS systems that exhibit problems need to be serviced by a qualified mechanic (or attempted DIY www.danoland.com/nsxgarage). A mechanic may indicate that the ABS unit is faulty and needs to be replaced but those cost big $$$. I think that a good mechanic can fix the units by repeatedly flushing the system and exercising the solenoid valves—it may take 5-10-20 flushes, but it’s cheaper than replacing the unit.
