Got code P0683 but mine's different!!!

CEL came on so off I went to the local auto parts store - they got out their scanner and hooked it up.
It came up with the following:

P0683 Glow Plug / Heater Module Comm Prob

So I've seen all of the other threads on here for that particular error code but none of them say anything about a Heater Module...does anyone know what that might be?

Although I am not in CA, I do have the GPCM from what I can tell from the pictures. It is mounted at the top of the engine in the center but towards the right side near the firewall - sound about right?

help me guys - for I have no clue but I really don't feel like messing with a dealer on this...

The code generally indicates a failed GPCM or PCM.
