There's no wire you can pull to disable it - recommend you search the forum for SBC. The system can be reset with a specialty hack tool, though.

You can disable the SBC warning light by getting your brakes fixed...

Remove the harness plugged to the sbc, there's a lil tab, pull it up first, then unplug it.

But yeah, fix your brakes.

There are two common basic ways to disable it. The first is to fix your brakes, and the second is to crash your car. If you have the warning light symptom, then braking while cornering at high speed is the most efficient way to fix the problem. Mountainous terrain increases the efficiency of this method.

I always wonder why some of us want to drive a vehicle like a MB, but when the warning lights come on, rather disable than addressing the issue, being to cheap to perform the necessary maintenance?
The Engineers put the warning lights there for a reason! If you have an electrical issue, fix it so one can be assured all systems operate properly.
