Intermittent Engine Light/ Power steering issues

So I have an 2004 Rx-8 touring 5 speed transmission. I was away from home on business and it died and needed jumped. Unfortunately my wife had it jumped by someone who did not know what they were doing and swapped positive with negative and fried the power steering. I replaced the power sterring control unit and wasted 90 bucks beacuse that wasnt the problem. I Also cleaned the connectors and nothing came of it. Also this week my engine light popped on, the codes I will attach to this post. Any help would be appreciated this power steering issue is driving me crazy. And yes I tried replacing the fuse. Thanks in advance for the help. Any tips or courses of action?
