JMH,

I recently changed my battery as well. Whenever you change a battery or disconnect the negative, you have to set up the auto feature for the windows. Roll your window halfway down, and then roll it back up, holding that button for an additional second. It's in the manual about the auto feature for all the windows. After you are able to roll down the windows automatically, you should be able to use that button the remote.
 
You will also need to cycle the roof and drivers auto up and down, with the extra long hold at close for them to regain their auto feature.
 
Yes, you need to reset the one-touch features on the power windows and moonroof when you disconnect the battery. The windows use less power to close these days (so they're less likely to crush hands or fingers), so they need to "remember" where the closed position is.

To reset the driver's side power window auto-close:
1. Push down and hold the driver’s door power window switch to completely open the window.
2. Pull and hold up the driver’s door power window switch until the window closes. Continue holding the switch for approximately one second until the switch changes from blinking to a constant illumination.
3. Check for proper operation of the “one–touch open/close” by pushing the switch briefly to the “DOWN” and “UP” positions.

To reset the moonroof one-touch operation:
With ignition switch in the “ON” position, do the following:
1. Push and hold the “TILT UP” side of the switch until the moon roof tilts all the way up and then tilts down slightly (approximately 10 mm [0.39 in.] at the rear).
2. Check for proper operation of the “one–touch slide open/close” and “one–touch tilt up/down” functions by pushing the switch briefly to the “SLIDE OPEN” and
“TILT UP” positions.

To reset the rear window operation:
1. Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Push the back door power window switch to the “DOWN” side to open the window.
3. Push and hold the back door power window switch to the “UP” side until the window closes. Continue holding it for approximately 1 second.
4. Check for proper operation of the “one-touch open/close” functions by pushing the switch briefly to the “DOWN” and “UP” position.

The compass will also need to be reset if you disconnect the battery. Instructions for that are in the Owners Manual. You need to look at a map of the country to determine which zone you're in, and the instuructions are slightly different for 2003-2006 vs. 2007-2009.

Sorry to bust your thread OP; let me add a question.

I just purchased a beautiful, used, '06 Sports Ed. V8 yesterday. Been playing around with the features trying to get used to it.

I do have a couple questions, however.

Is it possible to reprogram the remote to open all windows and not just the rear?

AND, is it possible to reprogram the remote to close all windows OR close the rear after opening it.

No, no and no.

The remote will only open the rear window. It will not do anything else for the other windows be it open or close.
 
Well I'm not sure that any of this answers my questions. I know this is a really old thread so I may not even get a response. However, I just purchased a 2006 4Runner Limited V8 and all of the auto windows work (moonroof, driver window, and rear window) in all functional capacities. However, all of the features on both remotes work, except for the rear window buttons on both. Why is this? And how is it fixable? My friend who was a mechanic and is now network/systems/computer engineer says it may be a software issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 4Runner enthusiasts and/or experts.

Not sure if it will work but i would try and disconnect the battery and reprogram all the windows.
 
This isn't exactly the same issue that was originally posted, but it may be relevant. I've been diagnosing a rear window problem for a while now. I had to change my battery and reprogram all the auto features and everything worked except the rear window. The rear window would roll down from the dash button with the key in the on position, but I could never get the auto feature to work. It wouldn't roll down from the key fob or the rear key hole either. If I tried to use the key fob or rear key hole, it would beep and try to roll down but just stop. After a lot of research and looking at the service manual diagrams, I decided to replace the motor. After replacing the motor, everything works as it should and the my rear window issues were fixed. I hadn't found anywhere on the forums that had the same issue as me, so I figured I'd post up my solution for anyone else who has the same issue.
 
2004 SR5 Rear Window Issue

I know this is an older thread but I've tried the reset procedure but I can't get the auto up/down, rear key switch or remote up down to work. Suggestions?
 
Same problem here. Rear window worked on my 2004 T4r and after a battery change, everything works except the remote operating the rear window. I’ll keep searching.
 
Lock and unlock the doors with the remote. Then, cycle the windows with the window switches in the vehicle. Then cycle door locks with remote again. I did this last time to get all functions of the rear door working again, including the window roll down from remote
 
Rear Hatch actuator replacement

Thanks for all the info here.
I changed out the lock assembly today.
Unfortunately my door was locked shut and for the life of me cpuld not figure out how to get it open.
Needless to say, I found the lower arm to release the hatch, proceeded to remove rear plastic and changed out the part with minimal difficulty.
And then...nothing. no power to the rear door.
I said **** a bunch of times, took the new one out and plugged in the old just to see if there was power in it(thought maybe I bought a faulty part).
Then I found this thread, proceeded to remove the fuse from the main ECU panel under hood, waited 20 mins and reset windows by trying what one of you posted.
VOILA!
Everything works again!
Thanks for the great info.
 
Is the remote button supposed to work to roll the rear window back up? Mine will roll down, but not back up, via the key fob remote. The dash button works to send it up or down (including the auto function once I release the dash button).

2003 4Runner SR5, for reference

Nope. Rear window can only be raised via the internal switch or putting the key in the rear door keyhole and turning clockwise - which will also lock all the doors.
