Default VSC Trac light on after alternator replacement

Lost power due to bad alternator..dealer replaced alternator and reset codes and lights. Next day VSC Track light and engine light came on. Told that I need a new catalytic converter. Makes no sense. Any ideas. This is. GX470 2007.

What's the code and how many miles do you have? It's possible it's a legitimate code.

This could be random but when did you last change your gas lid, I had similar lights and 13$ laters it's all fixed.

Disconnect your battery for an hour or more and see if the lights go away 1st. It’s a good idea to learn to scan your own codes and look them up. Then look up corrective actions.

3 clicks tight usually seals a good replacement Toyota gas cap.
