Swapped Gauge Cluster Now ABS Light Is Lit??

I have a 01 GLE.. I just bought a gauge cluster off what appeared to be a SE 00-01.. I wanted the titantium face with blue backlit.. So I did the swap today, I was gonna swap the circuit board so I can retain my miles but then that's when I figured that the one I got was off a 00. So I said what the heck, I popped the 00 gauge cluster in, popped in all the cables. When I turned the key to the on position I noticed my miles went from 32K to 16K.. (I know, that's illegal)... Everything came one and worked fine.. The things I notice now is, my ABS light remains lit.. And the light for my TCS won't toggle on and off anymore. Does that mean they still work but will not display because the 00 model didn't have these features?? Someone please help!!! Is there anything I can do to fix this...

well first off a nissan dealership will tell you where to go to have the miles on the cluster changed to what your car really has, granted you put your stock cluster back on. Did you switch one of wires or something when you plugged it in?

Nope, all the wires went back in.. The gauge wouldn't work right if it wasn't right?

I'll try the bulb and see if theres on at the tcs location.. When I tried to swap the circuit board on the SE cluster it was ready, there were like 8 small screws and the board came out easy. On my GLE cluster there were no screws at all.. Just two small tabs. I tried pulling that circuit board off the cluster but it wouldn't even move. Is there another way to do it? Please help me guys!!

Mine is doing the exact same as the first post. Swapped my gauges, 01 SE Anniversary Ed (titanium) w/o TCS into an 01 GXE w/o TCS and my speedo & ABS light is staying on. I wonder if I have to swap around some pins or something. I thought it would be plug & play. I guess maybe it may not be TCS... not confirmed just throwing that out there.

What does this mean?? Grabbed it from the service manual
SPEEDOMETER
The combination meter provides a voltage signal to the vehicle speed sensor for the speedometer.
The voltage is supplied

- from combination meter terminal 15 for the speedometer

- to terminal 1 of the vehicle speed sensor (with TCS).

- to terminal 19 of ABS actuator and electric unit (without TCS).


The speedometer converts the voltage into the vehicle speed displayed

I mean is there anything I can modify to get this working? Solder, cut a lead etc??
