I am going to be doing a pad and rotor change on a co-workers car tomorrow. This is to my knowledge the first time I have worked on a car the same decade it was produced, and definitely my first car with ABS. For the record, it is a 2014 Sonata.
Question, is it any different than a non ABS car? The only thing I found that was different when searching the web, was to open the bleed screw when compressing the caliper so as to not allow back flow of fluid to damage sensors. Even that though wasn't specific to that car it is just something I came across.
Is there anything I am missing?

I have done many ABS equipped car pad and rotor changes, and have not done anything different vs a non ABS car. Makes include VW, Honda, and Ford.
The opening of the bleeder is a thing people do to avoid pushing old fluid back up to the master. I don't worry about it too much, myself. Not really abs specific.
I don't think you're missing anything. As long as you don't cut the sensor wire or take a sledgehammer to the ABS sensor, in which case you'll need to replace an ABS sensor. But you aren't planning to do any of that, right?

I can tell you the rotors are different on an F-250 (and not interchangeable).
But the process is the same.
