Default abs brake light stays on

Is it possible to get the warning light on the dash to turn off? I don't need that level of braking control since I never drive my 2001 C5 fast

Pull your codes to get an idea what the problem may be.
Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine.
Press the "reset" button to turn off any warning messages
Press and hold "options" and
While holding "options", press "fuel" four times within a 10-second period.

Thanks JR. Just tried and could not get the warning light "service ABS" to turn off. Pressing/holding "options" and pressing the "fuel" didn't have any effect either. Key was turned on but did not start the engine.

Yes you do need that "level" of braking control, you could have a catastrophic crash depending on what code is lit, get it fixed!
