Bob,
Obviously the first step is to get a code pulled. Although it could just have been a coinsidence that it happened at the same time, in my experience, I have seen on more than one occasion that a fuel system service could cause a CEL to come on. Mostly because you are severely altering the air/fuel mixture and the computer hasn't much control over compensating for it. There may not be a "hard" problem anymore, and in time the light may reset itself, but for warranty issues, don't put it off getting it checked out.
Dennis,
The P0401 usually indicates a bad DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR sensor) along with P1400, P1401, and P0402. as long as other codes are not present. And yes Ford has a campaign for alot of their vehicles covering that concerne (02M01).
