Default ABS and Brake light come on while driving

Been happening for a while now, at start up no brake or abs light. After a few miles both lights come on. Following a tip, I pulled the airbox and cleaned a ground cable next to the radiator. Saw a video where you pull the ECM out, cut the seal, open it up and there are 6 points on the circuit board you resolder, then use rtv sealant and reinstall. Does anyone know if that is worth trying? I looked for a sticky, but then again sometimes I can't even find my WITH a bell on it.
Also did recently replace front pass side hub amd no change in Abs light.

There is a code that's triggering the abs light. ABS codes are automatically cleared when the truck is shut off. Drive it until the lights come on and have it scanned with a scanner capable of retrieving abs codes.

The easy possibility for both lights "on" might be the master cylinder fluid level is low. IF so, it is about the easiest fix.

I know the booster diaphragm has a hole in it but I don't think the Blazer has anyway if knowing that.
