TPS change
If I change my sensors, will I have to replace any o-rings or sealing washers or can I just use the existing pieces? thanks, Dave 
Hoping to change the batteries....

First you have a 2003 VERT, so you don't have o-rings, you have "gaskets".
Why are you replacing the TPSs ? You should get 10 years from them !
New TPSs should come with the gaskets. You probably should buy new TPS nuts, especially if you are going to use on another set of wheels. You could reuse yours though.

Series I sensors (1997-2000) have a 7 year life. Series II sensors (2001-2004) have a 10 year life, they do not report pressure in real time as Series I do. Not to worry, if you loose pressure they report immediately.
So late 02 plus 10 years equals 2012. You have plenty of life left.
