You need to find out why it's on first. To do that you need to scan it for codes so you'll know what to fix if it's something "important". If it's on due to mods you've done like taking egr or air pump off then you need something like tunercat to turn codes off.

if the light is on, it must be for a reason; so get it scanned and let us know what code is being thrown, and we can help you to see why your SES light is on.....

agreed. GM doesn't have the ses come on to entertain us. It means that there is a problem. Don't ignor it or you might find yourself if a bit of trouble. If your wife or GF had a light in her that would come on when she needed a doctor would you just try and find a way to shut it off? 
Autozone will scan for free. Write down the codes and then RUN AWAY when they try to sell you something to "fix" it. Come here and share the trouble codes with us and we can help.
