Older OBDII Scanner Functional for Code Reading on 2020?

My list for a Track Day always included my Harbor Freight Scanner. It came in handy a coupla times on my '97 SS. But the code reader is 15 years old. Would it be of service for reading a check engine light on my 2020?

As long as it's OBDII it should still work for reading the "standard" codes since that protocol hasn't really changed. It won't read other modules like airbag, MR, rear diff, etc. though.
