Question about using SCT SF3 as code reader

I have a SCT SF3 tuner that I am using on my truck. Since it is tied to my particular VIN, I know that I can't use it as a tuner on another truck (unless I change mine back to stock), but can I use the other features, such as reading codes, on another vehicle 6.0?

Good to know! Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what would happen if I plugged it into another truck while it was married to mine. Now at least I can try without worrying about anything going south.
