You should be able to use PCMSCAN with any OBD-II compliant vehicle. It sounds like your car is compliant, but this article can help you check:

Also, I would suggest getting ScanXL Std instead of PCMSCAN. PCMSCAN is old now, and we are no longer updating it. For the same price, ScanXL Std gives you most of the same features, plus a few extra. Its here:

If you have any questions just ask.
