2003 Acura RSX Diagnostic Scan Tool: Brockway 900/900e Review

For 2003 Acura RSX owners looking for a reliable and accurate diagnostic scan tool, the Brockway 900 and 900e models offer a compelling solution. These vehicle sensor monitors are designed to plug directly into the diagnostic port of your 1996 and later import vehicles, including the Acura RSX, providing real-time data directly from your engine’s ECU. This ensures the information you receive is completely accurate, giving you a clear picture of your engine’s performance.

The Brockway 900 is equipped with 9 different screen modes, allowing you to monitor critical engine parameters. You can easily keep track of engine RPM, ignition timing, and essential sensor readings including:

  • TPS (Throttle Position Sensor): Monitors your throttle input.
  • MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure): Measures pressure in the intake manifold.
  • MAF (Mass Air Flow): Tracks the amount of air entering the engine.
  • ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature): Displays your engine’s coolant temperature to prevent overheating.
  • IAT (Intake Air Temperature): Shows the temperature of the air entering your engine.
  • O2 (Oxygen Sensor Voltage): Monitors your oxygen sensor readings for fuel mixture analysis.
  • VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor): Displays your vehicle speed.

Both speed and temperature can be displayed in either Metric or English units, and the LCD screen features a dimming function for comfortable viewing at night. Furthermore, the Brockway 900 is capable of reading, storing, and clearing engine Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), making it a valuable tool for basic diagnostics and troubleshooting common issues on your 2003 Acura RSX.

For those seeking enhanced functionality, the Brockway 900e builds upon the features of the 900 with the addition of a two-stage shift light output and a 0-60 mph timer (or 0-100 km/h in metric mode). The shift light is adjustable from 3,000 rpm to 11,500 rpm in 100 rpm increments for each stage, and its activation is speed-dependent, adjustable from 10 mph to 200 mph. The acceleration timer automatically measures your 0-60 mph times, using an internal accelerometer for motion detection and the VSS for speed tracking, providing accurate performance metrics for your Acura RSX.

Priced at only $179 for the standard 900 model and $229 for the enhanced 900e (with shift light available in red, white, blue, or green), the Brockway 900/900e diagnostic scan tools offer a cost-effective way to monitor your 2003 Acura RSX’s engine performance and diagnose potential problems.
