To do this sit in the car/truck with the ignition OFF, and all doors closed. Hold the lock/unlock buttons down for 20 seconds or until you hear the doors lock and unlock.
Now your remote should work with no problems.
Sometimes this is also required if you haven't used a particular remote for a while, manual says more than 30 day with out contact with the vehicle the remote has to be re-synced.
Thanks

Most people don't look that closely at the remote case when changing the battery, and then have to go to the dealer just for that simple fix!
