Default need help with ABS

Hey, I'm new but all the info in this forum has been really helpful. I’m relatively inexperienced with autos but I like to do things myself so go easy on me. I recently purchased this f150 and love it.

However, occasionally after driving 15-30miles the ABS and Break lights come on and stay on until the ignition is turned off. The ABS also stops working. The previous owner had recently replaced the master cylinder.

I grounded the system to get the fault codes and got #4. I think this means a “Grounded or closed RABS valve switch.” Is this something in the RABS module or in the RABS hydraulic control valve (HCV) or what??!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The ABS light automatically comes on when the Brake light comes on. Most likely the system needs to be bled or there's a leak.
