Are you bench testing with just a joystick connected? Yes, exactly, it´s just the joystick connected.
Do you have a correctly configured CAN with 2 x 120K resistors? I have just one 120 ohms resistor connected between the CAN H and CAN L. The resistor is connected before my CG150-2 interface. It´s correct, right?
POWER >> JOYSTICK >> CAN H and CAN L>> 1x 120 ohms resistor between the CAN´S >> CG150-2 INTERFACE >> PC SERVICE TOOL
Are CAN H & CAN L correctly connected? Yes. I know this because when i flip the cables, the status of my interface change to "Busy", so i can´t selected it at my service tool.
Does the Baud Rate match the joystick? At first, yes. The datasheet of my joystick says that is 250 kbit/s.
What type of joystick are you using? It isn´t Danfoss, it´s a caldaro jooystick, but i think it wouldn´t be a problem.
