Even if they do try to tell you what they mean, just WREITE DOWN THE ACTUAL CODE numbers, then come back here and do a SEARCH for those codes to see previous discussions on what they mean and how to correct the faults. Most common fault codes are well-documented here and elsewhere.
Under no circumstances should you let the monkeys at the parts store try to diagnose the actual fault unless they will accept responsibility for incorrect guesses.
If you are not encountering any noticable drivability issues, the fault is going to be emissions related.
