No idea I'm afraid, though it sounds like it needs reprogramming. Try posting on the sister site POCUK.co.uk, much more active on there and I'm sure someone would help very quickly. Smile

Hi, My owner manual says the following.

When the battery has been replaced the system may have lost synchronisation, if this happens press both buttons on the control simultaneously for two seconds.This should return the system to normal operation.

This happend to mine and after being charged £50 twice by my toyota dealer to reset it they felt it was only fair to tell me how to do it. Guess i should of read my manual first.

This is for a standard 2 button key fob from toyota,i hope this helps.

I have just tried your two button key fob tip and it worked a treat.
