HERK - Does the problem return after you stop and start your car, or does it seem to reset itself? What year is your C5? Did it just happen the one time? I have a similar problem with my 2001. There is a bulletin on a code issue in the ABS that can produce this symtom. If it's an 01 or eariler they may be able to simply reprogram it per the bulletin. If you can provide some more specifics maybe someone can respond. In my case, the symtoms were a bit different and the reprogram didn't help.

Since you got it just last week, I assume you have at least a 30 day warranty. Have it checked. First, the TSB as mentioned above. Secondly, check your battery. If you are starting to lose voltage, or are developing a bad cell that could be the cause.
Another possible cause, may be a loose connector on the EBTCM. I believe on the MY2000, its under the hood.
Other potential suspects, could be the TAC (Throttle Acutator module). Expensive, but not something to attack first.
And just a thought, the Service Manual for a MY2000 should be in your library.
HTH,

And congratualtions on your Y2K! This is just a hiccup. Enjoy, and drive it like you stole it!

I had some issuse with the ABS coming on when I was in COMP mode doing a burnout the last time I was at the track. I bled the brakes and got a new battery ( the latter for other reasons ). I will try and duplicate the situation again and see if the same thing happens.
