i had to change the knuckle on my car the front left and the one i got was from a 2003 maxima and it came with the abs sensor (my old one broke while tryign t o take it off) but i realized the socked of the sensors were different, so i cut the old sensors adapter and hooked it tot he new one and after that i had the CEl, ABS, Slip and TSC off lights and i erased them now i get all those lights except the cel so when i hook the obd scanner it says no code found what went wrong

It's probably not compatible.

My guess is the CEL went away because it sees an ABS sensor, but the Slip and ABS lights stayed on because they're not seeing the right signal. It probably looks to the system like that wheel is rotating at a different speed than the other 3. The '03 ABS sensor probably has a different pulse signal than the '01 sensor.
