Default reading obd II with sct question

I was wondering if you can use the sct tuner as a general obd II reader for any vehicle with obd II. reason being i have to do some work on a toyota camry and i believe it is obd II. the check engine light is on now, can i use the sct to read/clear the trouble codes on a toyota? Please help

my understanding is no... the tuners are locked to the car they are used on.....

only SCT can unlock it for a different car..... (that's what the dealer I got mine from said)
