That's a warranty item if you're still in warranty.

I know for all the Chev trucks I've owned, Disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds should reset the light and erase any codes that were thrown. If it comes back on than there is likely a good reason for it. I haven't had to do this with the Vette but I can't see why it wouldn't work. Can't hurt to try, it only takes a minute. You'll have to re-index your windows but everything else will stay the same
