No it won't. It is just a code scanner. I guess I was confused by your statement about OBDII scanner. That is not what you need for the specific testing you are talking about. You would need the dealer scanner. However I have never heard of a good key not communicating with the engine computer, though I suppose it might be technically possible. I am not sure the more likely causes have been ruled out yet, like fuel pump, fuel pump relay, etc. The suggestion was to use the OBDII scanner to see if the computer is alive I think. I guess it would confirm that.
