Power Steering Pump issue...

[NewMStang]

So I recently had some trouble with my power steering pump so I went ahead and had it replaced, but now the check engine light has turned on, so I have a few questions:

-I had the mechanic take the reservior off of the old p/s pump and reuse it, that shouldn't be a big deal or causing an issue, right?

-I went ahead and bought transmission fluid to use as the p/s pump fluid (i believe that what's recommended), I think I bough some offbrand fluid, could this be causing the check engine light to go off?

Additionaly, what would be the recommended brand of fluid to use and should I have the other fluid flushed and use a different one?

Thanks in advance for the help!

has nothing to do with ur ps sounds like the guy who worked
on it unplugged some electrically connector to fix it but forget to
re connect it. check all ur electrically connections around and
next to the pump, good luck

i would not recommend using tranny fluid, when it gets "swished" around it foams.
