Chevrolet Repair: SSR, reader scanner, chevy ssr

Question
Alright last question for now on the 2006 Chevy SSR. Hi I went to the dealer today and asked them if they could flash my dads PCM. They said they tried and I would need a new one. I can get the computer for 103.00 plus core charge of 75.00 and the relay is 12.00 dollars. The PCM has to be flashed. If I bought this scanner can I flash it myself. I got a price quote to install the computer and change the relay for 300 dollars for that I can do it myself. I just cant flash it. I got a price quote of 80 dollars to flash it somewhere else. Will this tool flash it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Newest-2012-Version-D900-CANBUS-OBD2-Live-PCM-Data-Code-. Thanks.
