That's not the way these kind of things work.
In short: You can't.

We have no idea what kind of ECU you have and what kind of information it can use or how to format that information. The TC4 also does not send out any data.

CAN merely specifies the actual signalling from a hardware point of view - it's up to the individual implementer to use that to transfer data any way they see fit. Not much around as far as standards go. CAN Aerospace is an attempt that has found some traction (used for example with the newer Rotax or ULP engines) - but it is not generally popular as it makes poor use of bandwidth, i.e. restricts the amount of data you can move in a given time so many (like us) do things differently.
