2000 3.8 needs help

I have a 2000 3.8L V-6 with a "Service Engine Soon" light on. It came on after I installed a new exhaust manifold on the drivers side. What possible problems could it be detecting?

If you don't have the equipment to find the code, drive it to any auto parts store and ask them to de-code it for you. They'll be glad to do it because they want to sell you the parts to fix the problem, then they will clear the code for you.
