2001 Maxima GLE // ABS, TCS, Skid light on after replacing starter

Have a 2001 Maxima GLE with 130K miles. Starter went yesterday. After installation of new starter, my ABS, TCS, Skid control lights came on. These warning lights were not on prior to the starter going bad. None of the brake system electrical harnesses were unplugged to get at the starter, I only needed to remove the air box to get all the access I needed to replace the starter.

Is there any way that the starter going inoperative would cause the ABS system lights to come on, or is it just happenstance that I have an ABS sensor / system issue now??

Unfortunately neither of the two independent shops that I use (when I don't do the work myself) have a scan tool that can access the ABS system in Nissans.

is there anyway to reset these lights without the Nissan consult tool?

Thanks for any insight that can be provided. Trying to avoid a 1 hour minumum diagnostic charge at the dealer.

Check your charging system, you may simply have a weak battery or possible an issue with the alternator putting out low voltage
