After driving for 30 to 40 minutes it feels like someone applied brakes and ABS light turns on?

ABS light stays on and after 30 to 40 minutes later when it feels like brake applied the red light on dash says brakes and ABS. What could be making it run like this?

We only handle one problem per question. We need to run the codes to see what comes up, but it sounds like the brake master is going bad and not returning completely or the push rod inside the booster needs to be adjusted inward. Let's follow this guide/video to get the codes, and we should lift the front of the car and see if the front wheel spins.

There is no reason to get under the car. Please let us know what happens.
