Default 99 es300 check engine light help!!!!!!!!!!!

So I bought a 99 es300. The check engine light was on, Traction control, ABS, and the speedometer wasn't working. Took it to the dealership and they changed the ABS & TRACTION CONTROL COMPUTER MODULE. The car was fine for a couple of hours. All the lights were off, speedometer was working, and I smogged the car and it passed.

And then the check engine light and traction control light came back on.... took it back to the dealer and they said it was the cat... They said this car has 3 cats, and i think they are bull shiitin.

how many cats does this car have? I would check myself but the car is still at the dealer. and does anyone know wtf is going on with my car ? Thanks in advance.

Ask the dealership what codes they are getting.....then display them here and we'll tell you what to do.

Most of the time, it is a "fix" you can do yourself and save yourself some $$$$

Watch the language please.

They should be able to tell you the OBDII code they pulled out of the vehicle's computer, if not AutoZone will tell you what they are for free.

The vehicle has two precats, one near the front of the engine and one near the rear, and a main cat below the vehicle.
