I recently swapped my Mazda Axela 3 engine with Toyota 2zz engine. It is fine, but the problem is the dash-clock system is not the same ie. Rave counter not showing display of the gear shifting. Also, the power steering light is on, the check engine light is on, the AT light is on and the battery light is on also. The car is connected to the Mazda computer and the 2zz computer. Now how well can I make the swap be successful? I mean the dash clock, would a 2zz dash-clock solve the issues?

You will need to change everything over to the Toyota parts to get them to work. Or switch to mechanical gauges and instrumentation. The Mazda computer is not getting the proper signals and cannot control the dash. This is just one of the issues with swapping things in modern vehicles.
