Thanks Jeff.
I redo all the wiring for HIC connectors to GEA 24, and the problem persists. Also I checked all X connectors, and are as per manual.

Garmin Engine FADEC Interface Info always reads Engine Type, Serial Number, Hours, Throttle Position, ECU Type, ECU Serial Number and ECU Software Number.
RS-232 Port configured as Garmin Instrument Data.
No clue yet. I´m trying to get a B.U.D.S. to scan the ECU.

Ricardo,
You say the RS232 port is configured as “garmin instrument data”. That is correct, but the RS-232 path is only a backup. The information from the GEA-24 to the GDU is primarily (normally) over the Garmin CAN. In the event the Garmin CAN fails and the RS-232 path is used, it will only display engine data on the GDU that it’s connected too, it won’t propagate to a second EFIS.
I know you have connected the Rotax CAN to the GEA-24 Pins 17 & 33 on the J244 connector, but have you also connected the Garmin CAN to pins 1 & 2 on the GEA-24 J241 connector? Looking at the original photo you posted the Garmin CAN does not appear to be connecting to the GEA-24.

Jeff, yes Garmin CAN bus is connected to GEA 24. It has a status light on the back of the unit, and it’s blinking indicating good connection. It has to be something else.
I appreciate your help and time.

I assume you found the problem with no power on HIC A/B pin 1?
