It does scan but you need to make sure that you have codex scanners equipped in your gear, not just owned, and you have to give it enough time to make a scan which takes several seconds (an enemy will often be dead first). It tends to scan what is near your cross-hairs too.

One thing to be careful of is that it will use up all of your scans scanning things that you have already gotten the max number of scans for or aren't in the codex, making it very wasteful of the codex scanners. At this point I'm just ranking it up for the affinity since the Investigator is so inefficient and wasteful and I have my scanners setup on a hotkey.
