Unlikely. Generic US scantools usually only work with BA's on, which fully implement OBDII. If you want something that works on an AU you'll need to shop within Oz for something designed or re-engineered for the AU's unique implementation of PWM and Ford SCP. A Ford Flash 2 (Xcalibrator 2) can read & clear DTC's and datalog to a notebook using the SCT LiveLink software. BPT also sell a Mongoose cable and ScanXL software to do something similar. And of course members in the trade (like EvilChief) can tell you what does and doesn't work. What do you want to do?
