The power locks work when the car is placed in drive, but will not unlock. The remote does not unlock them nor does the main switch by the driver.
The remote will open the driver's door only.
Where do I start
Do you have a remote starter installed in this vehicle? If so, you body computer is probably compromised. Aftermarket remote starters kills the body ECU with unfortunate regulararity.
If you push the remote "open" button a second time, after the driver's door unlocks, dor the other doors unlock?
Well, unfortunatly, it looks like you need a body ECU. Personally, before I bought one, I'd get a Toyota tech to look at it. Body ECUs are not cheap, and they are a PAIN to install. I have done several in the last couple of years. Same problem as you describe.
You are quite welcome. I just wish I could have done a better job for you.

You will probably need to replace the power door lock actuator.
Here's a link to one similar to yours.

You can probably get a used one from a salvage yard.

Sounds like the button to unlock doors on the fob is worn out. You can purchase a new one or used from your local recycle yard.

Command the driver door and passenger door lock actuators to LOCK and UNLOCK with the scan tool, the doors should LOCK and UNLOCK when changing between commanded states.

If a door lock actuator does not perform the LOCK and UNLOCK functions, refer to Door Lock Malfunction

I do not have a remote starter. The remote I was referring to is the key fob. Sorry if I confused the issue.
No, I can push the unlock repeatedly and the other doors will not unlock. They will not unlock by using the button by the driver nor by using the key in the driver's door.
Thanks for the help and advice. For the time being, I have just reprogrammed it so that the doors do not automatically lock when putting the car in gear.
