This is all most likely related, the brake master cylinder and the brake booster (which is what assists you to push on the brake pedal), along with the ABS hydraulic unit and control module are all pretty much integrated together. Plus, if you have been pushing on the brake pedal a bunch of times trying to start the vehicle, the booster will not be working without the engine running, but that should not stop the Brake pedal switch from sending a signal that the pedal is being pressed.
The real issue here is these "U" codes, and any other codes that are stored in other modules throughout the vehicle. Below is a picture of the brake master cylinder, the brake booster which is the large round component that the master cylinder bolts to, and the ABS module.
Is this something you are going to try to diagnose yourself, or have it taken to a shop?
It doesn't necessarily have to be a bad ABS module causing these issues, that's just the only code that a basic scan tool can read because it was stored in the engine computer. To read codes from other modules, like the ABS, a higher end scan tool is needed.
