The first picture is what it looks like on my 1990 F150 5.0 EFI. The second pic shows where it's located. You find it in this thin black box behind the air filter. It will be plugged into the bottom, you pull it out, connect it to your scanner and begin the procedure.

The RABS 1 test connector is forward of the E brake pedal, two matting halves one with a black/orange wire connected to it, that is the wire you want to ground for 1 to 2 seconds after unplugging the connectors from each other.

RABS 1 does not store codes after key is turned off, must trigger test while light is on before turning off key.

Doesn't look like you'd need to remove the cowl panel to see it.

My Bad, I didn't read your post clear enough and took a picture of the computer test unit.

If both the RABS and Brake warning lights are on, double check that there is a good connection at the fluid level switch on the master cylinder.

If both the lights are on, can't you still pull trouble codes? I would try that anyway.
