How to remove ABS Control Unit on Acura Integra?

Go through the procedure and confirm the details for doing this task.

ABS Control Unit

The ABS control unit, or ECU, manages the entire system via inputs from various sensors and programmed decisions which are stored within the unit. This management system includes the pump motor, various electronic solenoids, wheel sensors and an internal self-diagnostic mode. The main function of the ABS control unit is to perform calculations on the signals received from each one of the sensors at the wheels. This will enable it to control the system by actuating solenoid valves that regulate the flow and pressure of the brake fluid to each wheel. The system was designed with a sub function that gives driving signals to the pump motor as well as signals the self diagnostic mode which is a necessity for backing up the antilock braking system.
