Much cheaper and easy to change out yourself:

And I agree with Dozer on cleaning the connectors under the air box.

Dozer is right...............gotta try those connectors before just assuming it's the module.
Let me find that thread with the nice pic in it to show you where the connectors are!
Here it is!

^................Make sure you let us know, so we can use it as a further reference. Hopefully that will be it!
Contact cleaner is the way to go, but get them clean and dry. If it works, then start thinking about lengthening that coolant overflow hose!
Just don't go by what the dealer tells you.

So, you looked at this pic?
It's the gray connectors and they would be really hard to see as they are located pretty low.
The best way to find them is to take out the intake box to give you good access to them.
If you aren't sure about how to do that or don't feel like you can attempt it, then find someone who can.
Print this picture out, give it to them and point!
Have them unplug these connectors, clean the contacts real good and plug them back in. This would still be well worth it if it cures the issue.

check your battery connections too. i had one that got corroded and when i replaced that, i was good to go. probably not the culprit but worth looking at them anyway.

^...................yeah, I think the goal here should be to eliminate most(if not all) of the easy possibilities before going after the module or the rack itself.
