Default 94 grand cherokee laredo brake system question

hello I am new to this forum so I hope I am posting this in the correct spot. I just recently bought a 94 jeep grand cherokee laredo. While driving it today the brake light came on and i lost my brakes, so I checked and I thought i had a brake line broken, but my problem is the line that seems broke comes out of the master cylinder turns and goes into the booster then comes out of the booster and turns into a bigger around type of line and goes down behind the motor. So my question is is this an easy fix and what exactly is that line i have never seen this type of set up on any of my previous cars but this is my first jeep. Is this a send it to the garage type of job.

First off, this is Cherokee tech and not Grand Cherokee tech. I personally don't know much about Grand Cherokees, but somebody may be able to help you. The bigger thing I'd like to point out, though, is that pictures help a lot when describing things you aren't sure of

Here's where you may get more help (https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f5/) if you make a New Thread.

Honestly, I'm not sure what he means. I don't know anything about the ZJ brake setup, and that's why I asked for a picture.

EDIT: He created a new thread over in the Grand Cherokee section, as suggested.

Also check your fluid lines running from the transmission/torque converter up to the cooler section in the radiator. Both should feel warm if the pump is working and there isn't a clog

EDIT: TCU is the transmission computer. If you unplug it then the AW4 tries to run in hydraulic mode instead of computer controlled
well i think that someone before me was putting water in the radiator instead of coolant so im going to change that so its right...if i just unplug the battery will that maybe reset the computer and it will shift normal again because i read somewhere that the car wasnt shifting right when the cel was on but when they cleared it it was fine? idk im supposed to go back to the transmisson shop in the next week i believe because they have to replace the rear seal that has a small leak i got some more fluid tonight to add since its hovering on the needs some but its ok line lol i got the d/m i think it just has atf4 in it tho if they wont charge me when they do the seal i will make sure they use d/m only i dont think the coolant was boiling there was no steam it was just gurgling for a few mins it stopped tho so i think it was just the radiator pushing the fluid back into the res i just heard it because i was being super paranoid lol

This thread should help, cruisers posts should give you an idea on what to check.

When installing a muffler, does it hook up directly to the cat? Or is there and extension that goes between the two? (Yes, I already asked this in the proper thread with no answer)
