My check engine light came on and I went to Autozone to have the codes printed out. These are the codes, but I need help in understanding what problem they correlate to.

B1216
B1227
B1234
B1245
P0128

I have a 2004 Impala.

Codes starting with a B are body control module codes which a basic code reader like auto zone has cant read. Are you sure those codes start with a B?

There are no body codes that match those numbers either. I suspect his scan tool was faulty.
