VSA and Check Engine Lights on 2008 Acura TL

Had the rack and pinion system replaced in my 2008 Acura TL today. When I picked the car up to drive home, the Check Engine Light was on, as well as the VSA light and the exclamation light next to the VSA light.

I'm hoping it's related to something being reset when the rack and pinion was installed. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance, as I'm in need of any help/advice anyone can offer.

Thanks for the response. I also noticed this morning that when I go to set the cruise control the cruise light comes on, but I can't set the cruise control.

snakes, reset the check engine light by pulling the negative battery terminal for a few seconds.

because the codes could have been triggered by the mechanics changing out your rack and pinion, we want to be sure it's really a code.
so, if the codes come back after you reset the battery, then you'll know its a true code.

then you can get it read at an auto parts store for free(unless you live in CA)

and most times when a code is activated after work is performed, it's usually a forgotten wire harness. some one needs to go back in and check the work.
