How to prevent signal reflections on Garmin G5 Avionics Display CAN bus?
To prevent unwanted signal reflections or orphaned devices on the CAN bus in your Garmin Avionics Display system, ensure the CAN bus is daisy-chained between CAN devices. Avoid connecting CAN devices via a single point (star topology) or routing them through a hub device.
What does red light mean on Garmin G5 Avionics Display?
A red status LED on your Garmin Avionics Display indicates a hardware fault.
What does flashing green light mean on Garmin G5 Avionics Display?
A flashing green light on the status LED of your Garmin Avionics Display indicates that the unit is on and communicating via the CAN bus.
What to do if the GPS navigation information is removed from the Garmin G5 Attitude or HSI display?
If GPS position information disappears from your Garmin G5 Attitude or HSI display, start by verifying a Green Check by MapMX. Next, check the RS 232 wiring connecting the G5 and the GPS Navigator. Also, ensure that the GPS Navigator configuration hasn't changed since its initial installation. If the issue persists, consider replacing the G5 with a known good unit.
What to do if the VHF navigation information is removed from the Garmin G5 HSI display (with a GAD 29/29B installed)?
If VHF navigation information disappears from the G5 HSI display when a GAD 29/29B is installed, first verify there is a Green Check by A429. Check the ARINC 429 wiring between the G5 and the GAD 29/29B. If the LED indication is ‘No Light’, verify the circuit breaker, power and ground wiring. If the LED indication is ‘Steady Green’, inspect and verify the CAN Bus wiring. If problems continue, replace the GAD 29/29B with a known good unit.
How to fix a Red-X in the heading field on my Garmin G5?
If a Red-X appears in the heading field on your Garmin G5, start by checking for magnetic anomalies while taxiing. Investigate whether any new equipment has been installed on the aircraft. Select the Device Information page, choose MAG, and confirm a Green Check by MAG. Inspect and verify the CAN Bus wiring between the G5 and GMU 11. As a last resort, replace the GMU 11 with a known good unit.
What to do if the VHF navigation information is removed from the Garmin G5 HSI display (without a GAD 29/29B installed)?
If VHF navigation information is missing from the G5 HSI display without a GAD 29/29B installed, verify a Green Check by ‘Input Format, Garmin VHF NAV Radio’ and ‘Output Format, Garmin VHF NAV Radio’. Check the RS-232 wiring connecting the G5 and the VHF Navigator. Ensure the VHF Navigator configuration hasn't changed since the initial installation. If issues persist, replace the G5 or VHF Navigator with a known good unit.
What causes a Garmin G5 Avionics Display to show a Red-X condition for airspeed and/or altitude?
If your Garmin Avionics Display shows a Red-X condition for airspeed and/or altitude, begin by inspecting the pitot/static plumbing integrity. Next, inspect the pitot/static ports and all associated equipment for any issues. If the problem persists, replace the G5 with a known good unit.
What to do if OAT, TAS, and WINDS show a Red-X on my Garmin G5 Avionics Display?
If the OAT, TAS, and WINDS annunciations show a Red-X condition on your Garmin Avionics Display, inspect the GTP 59 OAT probe and its connections for faults. If necessary, replace the GTP OAT probe. If the problem continues, try replacing the GAD 13 with a known good unit.
