That's very odd. Your key in the drivers/passenger/rear hatch use a manual lock. If you really can't get into any of them you can charge your battery from under the truck and roll down the rear window.

The battery would be extremely difficult to access from underneath the vehicle. Not advisable, as one could make a mistake and arc the battery, causing it to explode

You'd better call a mechanic in your place.

How to bypass crown victoria theft deterrent system

You can't by-pass this system. Try locking/unlocking the doors with the key fob. If that doesn't work, try locking/unlocking the drivers door with the key. If still no luck, try disconnecting the battery for a minute or so. Do you have another key you can try?

2002 Sequoia automatic locks/auto lock buttons no longer work - all doors affected

You possibly need to reprogram the lock system to match your fobs.
If it unlocks by the interior switches then its the fob programming. This site is one example you can look for. http://www.chadspictures.com/automotive/How-To-Program-Toyota-Key-Fob/ If this is not the issue the computer that does the door locks could have died or you can look for the door lock fuse or a cut or pinched wire (due to other damage in an accident or from prior mods you did). Other possibilities include intermittent door solenoids if you can use the interior switch you can click it open and closed until you find the one that does not work every time. Change it out as it can leave your vehicle unlocked or it might interrupt the system. worst case it could be the chassis computer this site sells some http://www.automotix.net/usedautoparts/2008-toyota-sequoia-chassis_computer-product-i88489256n.html?gclid=CKfowo60gb8CFQQOaQodGqUArQ . If the shift lock system is screwed up it could be casing issues also but that's a long shot.

Reset anti theft system

it has gone into theft mode. you will need to have the system rest. it makes it so the parts are useless. when you take the battery off for any reason you need to have the key in the ignition on number 2 then off to 0. leave key in and you now have 30 seconds to take of the battery. just taking off the battery with out doing this can activate the systerm.

May be keyfob needs reprogramming.

Keyfob remote reprogramming is not very difficult but on some cases it can be done by dealer service tools.

If the remote s faulty then key fob will not get programmed.

Insert the key in ignition. Turn the key to on position, and cycle the key three times off-on-off-on-off-on. Then with the key fob remote select your remote and then try to operate the vehicle with remote.

These are just the basic procedure, but sometimes it will not help.

On that case dealer is the only option.

There are few much related troubleshooting links mentioned below for remote key fob reprogramming. I suggest you to go through the list and click the link below to go through its details and procedure: -------
