Q: What does code P1560 mean?

Cruise Control System Transaxle Not In Drive. P1560 on Chrysler vehicles means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the cruise control system is engaged or requested while the transaxle is not in the Drive range. The computer monitors the transmission range sensor and cruise control status, and it sets this code when the two signals contradict each other, typically because the gear selector is in Park, Neutral, or Reverse while cruise control is active or being commanded.
