1. What does B1560 mean?
B1560 and B1561 are cellular-antenna circuit DTCs documented for U.S. 2024–2026 Dodge Charger vehicles. Verified evidence identifies Cellular Antenna 1 and Cellular Antenna 2 circuit faults, including short-to-ground and open conditions; one source describes B1560-13 as open or short to battery.
2. Technical explanation
Verified NHTSA manufacturer communications identify these DTCs as follows: B1560-11, Cellular Antenna 1—Circuit Short to Ground; B1560-13, Cellular Antenna 1—Circuit Open, with one communication further describing it as Circuit Open or Short to Battery; B1561-11, Cellular Antenna 2—Circuit Short to Ground; and B1561-13, Cellular Antenna 2—Circuit Open. The supplied evidence does not establish a complete diagnostic procedure, component location, or a specific repair for these codes.
3. What system is affected?
Cellular antenna circuits: Cellular Antenna 1 and Cellular Antenna 2.
4. How serious is this code?
Unknown. The verified diagnostic record lists severity as unknown.
5. Symptoms you may notice
- A 2025 NHTSA manufacturer communication associates these codes with an issue involving the radio screen when the vehicle starts. The supplied excerpt does not establish the exact screen behavior.
- No other symptoms are established by verified evidence.
6. Possible causes
- Cellular Antenna 1 circuit short to ground (B1560-11).
- Cellular Antenna 1 circuit open, or open/short to battery as described in one verified communication (B1560-13).
- Cellular Antenna 2 circuit short to ground (B1561-11).
- Cellular Antenna 2 circuit open (B1561-13).
- The underlying physical cause of these circuit conditions is not yet established by verified evidence.
7. Can I still drive the vehicle?
Not yet established by verified evidence. The diagnostic record lists safe to drive as unknown.
8. Can I charge the vehicle?
