THat's a weird one, are you sure nothing got disconnected? Is the CEL on?

Get a code reader and clear everything out of the computer.

Pinto, I would be venturing to guess that when you did the power steering pump, you managed to bump a plug and either got it off kilter or managed to disconnect it. After that, tell us what the codes are as that will help us narrow down what the possible problem is and we can take things from there.
