1. What does B1562 mean?
B1562 is documented in verified Jeep service information as a GPS antenna circuit fault: short to ground (B1562-11), short to battery (B1562-12), or open circuit (B1562-13).
2. Technical explanation
Verified evidence identifies B1562 as a GPS antenna-circuit diagnostic. The listed failure modes are B1562-11, GPS antenna circuit short to ground; B1562-12, GPS antenna circuit short to battery; and B1562-13, GPS antenna circuit open. A related official manufacturer communication also describes B1560, B1561, and B1562 as antenna loose-connection DTCs in the TBM context. The supplied evidence does not establish which specific failure mode is present without the complete suffix and vehicle diagnosis.
3. What system is affected?
GPS antenna circuit; verified source material also references the TBM/Uconnect Box context.
4. How serious is this code?
Not yet established by verified evidence.
5. Symptoms you may notice
- A "Uconnect Box Requires Service" popup may be displayed.
- TBM sleep mode may not operate, which may cause battery drain in some cases.
- The supplied source evidence is truncated after referring to an additional "Uconnect Box Requires S" error display; the complete message is not established by the supplied evidence.
6. Possible causes
- GPS antenna circuit short to ground, for B1562-11.
- GPS antenna circuit short to battery, for B1562-12.
- GPS antenna circuit open, for B1562-13.
- An antenna loose connection is referenced by a verified manufacturer communication for B1560, B1561, and B1562 antenna-related DTCs.
7. Can I still drive the vehicle?
Not yet established by verified evidence.
8. Can I charge the vehicle?
Not yet established by verified evidence.
9. What you can safely do
- Record the complete DTC including its suffix, such as B1562-11, B1562-12, or B1562-13.
- Record any Uconnect Box service popup and whether battery drain is occurring.
- Arrange diagnosis by a Jeep-qualified service facility if the code or related messages are present.
10. Step-by-step troubleshooting
- Confirm the exact stored DTC suffix. Verified source material assigns different circuit conditions to B1562-11, B1562-12, and B1562-13.
- Check official Jeep diagnostic information applicable to the specific vehicle before making a repair decision.
- No owner-level connector, wiring, antenna, TBM, or Uconnect Box repair procedure is established by the supplied verified evidence.
11. When to contact service
Contact a Jeep-authorized service facility for diagnosis, particularly if a "Uconnect Box Requires Service" popup is displayed or battery drain is occurring.
12. What the service center may check
- Retrieve and document the complete TBM diagnostic code and suffix.
- Diagnose the GPS antenna circuit condition indicated by the stored suffix: short to ground, short to battery, or open circuit.
- Consider the manufacturer communication's reference to a possible antenna loose connection when evaluating applicable B1560, B1561, or B1562 antenna-related DTCs.
- Assess reported TBM sleep-mode operation and any battery-drain concern where applicable.
13. Possible repair or resolution
- Not yet established by verified evidence.
