Ahhh - the Re-initialise
process.
Following is the process as it applies to my car (97 model)
If yours is later check the manual - they started putting the proceedure
in after several years, and the process may have changed for the latest version
of the keys (which I assume you do not have because you have a battery in it).

---------------------
Remote Key
Re-Initialise - If a key fails to operate remotely, it will have to be
re-initialised (all keys in sequence at the same time)
- Get in and
“close all doors”
- Turn ignition on & off quickly (no more than 5
seconds) to start the process. Next action must take place within 30 seconds
- First key - hold down button #2 (unlock) while striking button #1
(lock) three times. Release button #2. Confirmed by door lock operation.
- Repeat for second key within 30 seconds of first.
- After last
key then cycle the ignition on/off to finalise the process (not necessary to
start the engine.
Both keys should now have new "randomly selected"
security "code words" - asigned by the car's system.
Those codes will be
continuously incremented within the new sequence each time you hit a button. It
is when they get out of sequence with the car that they loose the capability to
be recognised and you then have to do this again.
That occurs when you
take longer than 1 minute changing the battery, or if you hit buttons more often
the 1000 times when it is out of range of the car.
