No. It's too cheap. Our motors are not OBDII compliant, so ignore all the advertisements that claim 96 and newer vehicles.
If a store tells you it will work, tell them to prove it on the vehicle. Unplug the ICP and have them hook up the code reader. If you don't see a P1280 code, it's not working properly.
Here's the scanner I use AutoEnginuity PC Scan Tool (USB)
It's pricey, and you need a laptop to use it, but it can read codes and monitor live data.

Mine has paid for itself again and again and recently with the wife's F150 ignition miss. Man it would suck chasing that one down without the tool. Told me which one and I got right on it. Don't get any better than that especially when the problem is fixed.
Also, generic scanners will not scan extended diesel codes.

You may want to search EBay for a used superchips, Flashpaq, bully dog, or hypertec downloader. Even if you never use the performnace tunes on them, most all of them will read diesel specific codes.
