    You're missing vehicle speed signal to DME, so it goes into diag mode. Or any other missing signal. Very common of these swaps.
    You need a proper tune. Very easy to fix if you know what you're doing.

    You don't have to be sorry (I hope you didn't take it as me being offensive).

    I don't think you can easily fix it without tuning. But the tuning isn't too hard. That was my point. If you pull the partial flash from the MS43, I'll do it for you.
