It will work on all cars 96 and newer and some 95's. That was the whole point behind OBD II was that the computer readouts where standardized. Same connector, same output. Now, that being said there are some parts of the computer that are still proprietary and won't read on a generic code reader. For that you need the factory scantool.

As far as I can tell, all it does is read & erase codes.
This would be useless for tuning your DSM.
