Default Check light on Dash

Dead battery, so recharged and a check light is on with a strange symbol that looks like a valve. Not sure what it is. What is this?

If you have never pulled codes on your C5 here is how:

Does the little symbol that looks like a valve tell you anything. Never seen that one lit up before.

Had to reset the codes. Everything cleared up. Thanks 8Vette7, you've helped me with a code issue before. We old guys have a tendency to forget and have to be retrained. You're the best!
