When ever we start the car there is a diag routine that spins up the EBCM/ABS pump. if it is all gummed up from dirty and stagnate brake fluid, it's gonna draw too much current and melt the circuit traces/solder inside the EBCM. I have a '98 vert and have no issues and no worries. Drive it and enjoy!
How often should you drain/replace brake fluid? Mileage or years...

When it turns dark... the interval kind of depends on your usage. Check it at your oil changes and if it is dark change it... I have speed bleeders on my calipers.. worth every penny. If you have a manual trans, changing the CLUTCH fluid is a good idea too... it gets dark really fast!
