It depends on what codes and how many codes there are.

I agree with zonie77. Low voltage/bad battery will throw all shorts of codes.

Get your battery/alternator fixed (if that's the problem), then worry about any codes. Many battery places will also check out your electrical system, like Sears. Sears will charge something like $15 or $20 to do that and will refund it if you buy a battery from them.

I hope the problem is minor. Good Luck.

If you know the battery is good, it is possible that the positive cable has corroded underneath the insulation (fairly common, especially with how long the positive cable is on the caddies with the battery under the rear seat).... I wouldn't go replacing stuff blindly though. Definitely get your battery load tested and your charging system tested.
