yeh you should be able to read and clear codes with that. Most adapters come with a disc full of cheap trial software that will do the job.

I prefer my blue tooth adapter and "Torque" software on my phone.

I also have a tactrix cable to have a dabble with mapping, things like turning of the second lambda after a decat instead of using resistors. But "torque" is best for just a code.
