I got weary looking for this, so once I found it, I thought it would be good to share it with you.
I tried this out on my 1998 Avalon XLS, and it worked great. Those batteries don't last forever, and when you have to replace one, you shouln't have to pay a lot of money to get the remotes reprogrammed, too.
Here is some background information:

1. Open driver's door.
2. Insert and remove key from ignition.
3. Lock and unlock power door locks 5 times.
4. Close driver's door and reopen it.
5. Lock and unlock power door locks 5 times.
6. Insert key and turn it on and off 2 times without cranking the engine, then pull the key out.
The locks should lock and unlock automatically, one time.
7. Press both the lock and unlock buttons at the same time.
8. Press the lock button once.
The locks should lock and unlock automatically, one time.
If the locks lock and unlock twice, it didn't work. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
If you wait too long between steps, you need to start over.
If you are programming more than one remote, just repeat steps 7 and 8 immediately after you finish steps 7 and 8 with the first remote. This way, they both obtain the same code.
When I performed these steps, at first it seemed to work, then it seemed like something was wrong with the programming on one of the remotes because it wasn't unlocking the doors or the trunk. I'm not sure what I did next, but after a minute or so, it worked as well as the first one. I can't explain why. Maybe I had to shut the driver's door first, but the instructions did not say this.

That procedure will work as written on my 2001, but step #6 should be only one time, not two. One time sets the ECU to "add mode" which is what you want to do if you're just making a new fob work.

1. Start with the following conditions: you are seated in the vehicle
a. Key is out of the ignition.
b. Drivers door is open, all other doors are closed.
c. Drivers door is unlocked.
2. Insert the key into the ignition (don't turn it) and pull it out.
3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:
a. cycle the power locks 5 times, evenly spaced and relatively fast.
b. Close, then open the drivers door.
4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:
a. cycle the power door locks 5 times. (Same as before)
b. Turn the ignition to on, then back to off.
c. Turn the ignition to on, then back to off.
d. Remove the key from the ignition.
5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should cycle (automatically) indicating successful entry into programming mode. Return to STEP 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.
6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds:
a. Press the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter simultaneously for 1 second.
b. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons, press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds, the door locks should cycle once indicating successful programming. If the door locks don't cycle, or cycle twice, repeat steps 6a and 6b - this remote has not been accepted.
c. Repeat steps 6a and 6b for each transmitter that will operate this vehicle, including any old transmitters.
7. Close the driver door.
Just wanted to add my personal experience on my '01 Rav4:
I've followed quite a few guides which agree with this one, & had tried umpteen times following the instructions verbatim. It just so happens I accidentally did steps 4 & 5 twice & was the only time the car entered programming mode. Once I figured out what I did, this was a fully repeatable sequence.
In other words, the Toyota TSB instructions is WRONG! Since all of these vehicles are based on the same RS-3200 system, I doubt other models listed would have luck without my "mistake" above. Just don't want anyone else pulling his hair out during the night!

Here are the procedures to manipulate the remote door lock system. As you can see they are hardly difficult programming exercises. Any competent mechanic should be able to do it in 20 minutes including time for paperwork, coffee, sharing a dirty joke with the next guy, and a cigarette break. Competence, in this case, means the ability to read and follow instructions, not even knowing anything about cars.
As with anything, try these at your own risk. If you accidently reprogram your engine to produce 200HP don't blame me!
There are four different modes you can use to program remote door lock functions.
Confirmation mode allows you to check the number of transmitters recorded.
Add mode allows you to add a transmitter without disturbing existing transmitters.
Rewrite mode allows you to replace all existing transmitters with new ones.
Prohibition mode erases all transmitters and turns off the remote door lock function.
Confirmation mode. To check for the number of remotes programmed into the car:
Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.
1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF three times, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second each time.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.
The doors will lock and unlock themselves at about 2 second intervals. The number of times that the doors lock is the number of remotes that are programmed into the car. If the car locks/unlocks 5 times, there are no codes registered.
Add mode. To add a remote without disturbing existing remotes:
Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.
1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.
The doors will lock and unlock themselves once.
7. Within 40 seconds, press the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time and release.
8. Within 3 seconds, press either switch and release.
The doors will lock and unlock themselves once if the registration was successful. They will lock and unlock twice if the registration failed.
9. If you have other remotes to program, go back to step 7 within 40 seconds.
10. Insert the key in the ignition or open a door to complete registration.
Rewrite mode: To erase all remotes and add new ones:
Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.
1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF twice, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second each time.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.
The doors will lock and unlock themselves twice, indicating that you are in rewrite mode.
7. Within 40 seconds, press the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time and release.
8. Within 3 seconds, press either switch and release.
The doors will lock and unlock themselves once if the registration was successful. They will lock and unlock twice if the registration failed.
9. If you have other remotes to program, go back to step 7 within 40 seconds.
10. Insert the key in the ignition or open a door to complete registration.
Prohibition mode: To erase all codes and disable wireless door lock function:
Start with the key out of the car, driver's door open and unlocked.
1.Insert key in ignition and pull out
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the key in the ignition and pull out again.
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert and remove the key from the ignition again.
4. Within 40 more seconds, close and open the driver's door twice, then insert the key in the ignition and close the driver's door.
5. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to ON to OFF five times, leaving the key on for one second and off for one second each time.
6. Remove the key from the ignition lock.
The doors will lock and unlock themselves 5 times at about 1 second intervals.
