1. What does B1560 mean?

B1560 is a Jeep telematics/cellular-antenna circuit DTC. Verified variants are B1560-11, Cellular Antenna 1 circuit short to ground, and B1560-13, Cellular Antenna 1 circuit open or short to battery. Official communications also group it with cellular-antenna connection concerns and Uconnect Box service messages.

2. Technical explanation

The supplied official NHTSA manufacturer communications identify B1560-11 as “Cellular Antenna 1: Circuit Short to Ground.” They identify B1560-13 as “Cellular Antenna 1: Circuit Open or Short to Battery” in 2024–2025 communications; 2026 communications summarize B1560-13 as “Cellular Antenna 1-Circuit Open.” These are telematics/cellular antenna circuit fault descriptions. The evidence does not establish a single repair cause for every vehicle.

3. What system is affected?

Cellular antenna 1 / telematics or Uconnect Box-related circuitry.

4. How serious is this code?

Unknown. Severity is not established by the supplied verified evidence.

5. Symptoms you may notice

  • A “Uconnect Box Requires Service” popup may be displayed, according to NHTSA Manufacturer Communication 11023183.
  • One official communication reports that B1560, B1561, and B1562 may be associated with an antenna loose connection.
  • Official communications list the code as active or stored in wiTECH; no additional vehicle-specific symptoms are established by the supplied evidence.

6. Possible causes

  • Cellular Antenna 1 circuit short to ground (B1560-11).
  • Cellular Antenna 1 circuit open or short to battery (B1560-13), as described in the 2024–2025 official communications.
  • An antenna loose connection is reported in NHTSA Manufacturer Communication 11023183 in connection with B1560, B1561, and B1562.
  • Not yet established by verified evidence: a definitive component-level cause for an individual vehicle.

7. Can I still drive the vehicle?

Unknown. The supplied verified evidence does not establish whether it is safe to drive with B1560.

8. Can I charge the vehicle?

Unknown. The supplied verified evidence does not establish whether it is safe to charge with B1560.

9. What you can safely do

  • Record the complete DTC, including its suffix, such as B1560-11 or B1560-13.
  • Document any “Uconnect Box Requires Service” message if it appears.
  • Arrange diagnosis by an authorized Jeep service facility or qualified technician using the applicable manufacturer information.
  • Do not attempt high-voltage repairs; the supplied evidence does not identify this as a high-voltage system fault.

10. Step-by-step troubleshooting

  1. Have a qualified technician retrieve and document active and stored DTCs with wiTECH or an equivalent approved diagnostic process.
  2. Confirm the exact DTC variant: B1560-11 and B1560-13 have different verified circuit descriptions.
  3. Check applicable Jeep manufacturer communications by VIN, model year, and vehicle configuration. Detailed diagnostic steps are not established by the supplied evidence.

11. When to contact service

Service requirement is listed as unknown in the supplied diagnostic record. Contact an authorized Jeep dealer or qualified service provider for diagnosis, particularly if a “Uconnect Box Requires Service” message is present.

12. What the service center may check

  • Retrieve active and stored telematics-related DTCs.
  • Identify whether the fault is B1560-11 or B1560-13.
  • Review related antenna DTCs, including B1561 and B1562, where applicable.
  • Review applicable official Jeep service communications by VIN. Specific physical inspection or repair procedures are not established by the supplied evidence.

13. Possible repair or resolution

  • Not yet established by verified evidence for an individual vehicle.
