Default Hello new member

Hello, I am a new member with a question an prob theat a few have had on here. I installed an autometer pillar gauge set up on my 2003 dodge ram 1500. It has the 5.7 hemi in it. Now since the new gauges were installed I have a check engine light on and the ETC light is on. I know the CEL is on due to it not reading oil pressure or water temp, but I would like to know why the ETC light is on. The truck runs great with no problems. If anyone can help I would appreciate it, and thank you

ETC is Electronic Throttle Control, and the reason I disconnected the was due to installing autometer gauges. I could only find the factory spots to put sensors in. Now with the factory sensors unplugged I have the check engine light on, which I know is low oil pressure but after market gauge reads 60lbs, and the ETC light is on. I would like to know is there any other spots to install after market gauges instead of removing stock ones
