I've had my C5 for a week on the way home after buying it I went over some railroad tracks and that light came on. At the next street light I shut the car off and turned in back on, no more light. When I got home I read the owner's manual and it said do exactly what I did. I’m not sure why mine came on.

It could be the connections between the ABS wires and the hubs. A no cost fix is to disconnect the wires and clean the contacts. Bend them so they make good contact (not as easy as it sounds). Mine started to do this after I cleaned and painted the calipers. I wiggled the wires by mistake. After several tries of cleaning and bending it has been OK all summer.
