Why did you change the ECM and PROM originally? Seems you got some bad electronics there, throwing PROM faults.

Are you sure it's an ECM error code and not a CCM error code?
SYS flashing in the LCD would indicated a CCM 51 which is a problem reading the key pellet. Usually a dirty/worn key pellet or bad ignition key cylinder.
Service Engine Soon lamp on with a DTC 51 would indicated a ECM eprom or ECM problem.
What method are you using to pull codes. If via the CCM by shorting pin A to Pin G, Module 1 are codes for the CCM and Module 4 are codes for the ECM.
