The pronoun reference error is the replacement of the compound subject nouns with singular pronouns.
To correct the pronoun reference error, change the pronouns to plural form:
Frank and his brother didn't get along because they liked to get their own way.
This particular sentence could also be an ambiguous pronoun reference. That is, only one of the brothers was stubborn. In that case, the sentence should be changed to clear up the ambiguity:
Frank and his brother didn't get along because Frankliked to get his own way.
OR
Frank and his brother didn't get along because Frank's brother liked to get his own way.
