Yeah, but that just does regular OBDII codes, won't do manufacturer specific codes. These days you're better off with a code reader that can do manufacturer specific codes, that way you can also get transmission error codes, SRS, ABS etc. A regular scanner won't do those.
This is not a reader, it’s a communication interface. You can get some manufacturer and auxiliary (trans, abs, airbag) using software for some brands. Of course, you need more capable interfaces (manufacturer specific like VCDS from ROSStech, or multibrand like Delphi DS150E) to do modules/key programming/service reset for some brands.
