When the rear defrost switch on the HVAC module is pressed, a ground signal is sent to the smart junction box (SJB) on circuit 1426 (PK). The SJB then grounds circuit 1389 (WH) which energizes the heated rear window relay. When the relay is active, voltage is supplied to the heated rear window grid through circuit 186 (BN/LB). The heated rear window grid is grounded by circuit 1205 (BK). The SJB provides heated backlight status to the HVAC module through circuit 1427 (TN/LB).
