Re-programming or programming your 1998-2003 Toyota Sienna door remote is something you can do yourself–it is just a tedious thing to do. First park your van somewhere where you can safely open and close your driver’s side door (the street may not be the best place).
Hardware:

You have 40 seconds to complete these steps. Steps 1-9 place the van in programming mode and then (repeating) steps 10-11 allow you to program a single or multiple remotes.

- System should now lock and unlock the vehicle twice (on its own)
Programming Remotes (after successfully completing the steps above):
