2009 Buick Enclave Camshaft Position Sensor Location and replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2020
- Here's where to find the Camshaft position sensors and replacement of Sensor B on bank 1 of my 2009 Buick Enclave. It's really a simple job might take up to 1 hour to complete. This is unedited to give a better perspective on how to do this.
I purchased my Bosch Sensor from
RockAuto.com for $23.79 literally half the price of my local dealership for the same exact part. This repair is the exact same for GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, and Saturn Outlook, remember these cars have 4 camshaft position sensors. Good luck hope this helps. Like and comment!
Here's the link

Bosch Part number# 0232103079
Update: This did NOT solve my issues and i ended up having to have the timing chain replaced before an eventual failure happened, with working a regular job and weather being an issue i took it into a local Buick dealership to have them do the work, as it would've taken me 2-3 weeks to tear down and replace on my free time. The cost was around $2300.
The best video I found here, thank you very much! You are clear on all, steady hand movement with the camera, and can understand all you said. Again, thank you for posting!!
Appreciate it, thank you!
Great video. Honestly, After watching this, this will save me close to $500. In fact, Pep Boys wanted to charge me almost $500 to do this. IMO, these shops are full of crooks. I know this because my high school friend owns his own mechanic shop. Its a shame how these POS's exploit people. Especially when they exploit unknowing women.
enjoyed watching your video very good thank you for sharing wishing you a lot of health and success I always support you.
This video really help me fixe my car thank you in god bless
Thank you for the video. It was extremely helpful.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
Thank you sir
Same on 2011 Buick Enclave
Awesome video brotha...thank u
Just a note: Was getting a P0023 code (2012 Enclave) engine was chugging slightly = Bank 2 exhaust camshaft position sensor on a 2012 enclave. Royal PITA. Bank 2 exhaust is located just to the left of the Oil fill cap (near top of engine). Unfortunately, it is hidden behind a ton of stuff that needs to be removed to get to it. Heres what it took: Detach negative battery cable from battery. Remove10mm holding ac line near top front. Remove (2) 10mm holding overflow tank (move aside). Remove Fusebox cover. Loosen (2) phillips 10mm bolts (holding fuse wire harness) inside fusebox. Remove (1) 13mm bolt connecting positive battery terminals to fusebox. Unclip and remove fusebox middle part (with fuses) removing wire harness from bottom. Unclip/remove fusebox bottom. Remove (3) 10mm fusebox aluminum baseplate. Unclip wire harnesses from baseplate. Remove front plastic cowling hiding radiator cap. Remove upper radiator hose (both ends) catching drips with bucket below. Remove (2) 15mm engine mount bolts (holding rubber figure 8 mount). Remove (2) 15mm engine mount bolts to completely remove mount part holding big side of figure 8 rubber mount. Slide rubber figure 8 mount out sideways. Remove 10mm ac line bolt down below rubber mount area. Remove (2) 18 mm bolts from part of mount that bolts directly to engine. Remove (1) 10mm camshaft position sensor bolt. Remove sensor. Detach sensor wire clip. Reverse to replace everything. Note: you might want to put a new radiator hose on while you have it off. Refill coolant. Lots of parts to remove - it wasn't that bad once I figured it all out but just a lot of little maneuvering to get such a small part out. I would give yourself 1.5 hours (or more) to remove and 1.5 hours to replace. This same/similar procedure can be used to get to the alternator on this car also.
You should've made a video great instructions nonetheless
@@brettbeez Yeah -one of those things I just wanted to get done quickly and halfway through (since it was so involved) I thought "shoulda made a video".
Thanks for the video! Very detailed & helpful. I also got the same part from rock auto. Thank you.
No problem just trying to help out others good luck
@@brettbeez It went Perfect. I can feel the difference now. The old sensors had a lot of oil gunk on them, probably why they where not reading right. Thanks Brett!
@@thedoorpotterhousesermonso6167 good to hear! Glad I was able to help
@Brett Battan. Will a bad camshaft sensor prevent a car from starting?
@@blkofe_beauty6800 yes it can prevent a car from starting depends on what your codes are. I also have a video for no crank no start issues you can check that out on my channel.
on the wire connectors , take an L shaped scribe to the leading edge of the plug opposite the tab to disconnect with out damage works well on german plugs as well !!!! hope this helps
Thank you so much! This video was great!
Just did this myself thanks to your video!
Sorry one more comment. For reference it was on a 2011 Traverse.
Thank you this was helpful
Glad to hear. Good luck
Hi thanks for this video i have the exact same problem i would like to replace all 4 but only ordered 2 so i will do the others later. I am only using one hand so wish me the best.
Good luck! You'll be able to do it especially since you don't have to record a video 😂
I'm really glad you said to pop the hood. I wouldn't have known I'd need to pop the hood.
Glad i can help those who can't be helped. 🧐
Thanks 👍🏾
Years ago that I was told if you replace one you replace all four.
Thanks for the video, replacing this sensor and the vvt if the code P0011 or P0014 still on my dash it means i have to replace my timing chains?
For sure glad it was useful to you, yeah unfortunately it didnt solve my issue and i had to do the timing chain which solved the issues altogether
I have codes p0017 and p0016 could this be a timing chain problem. I also have a misfire on cylinder 1 3 and 5
Thx u bro u i need this💯
Would a P00018 code be the same sensor also?
Hello my friend and thank you for your valuable information,,
Do you know if this is the same procedure for my acadia 2008 slt?
I'm confused because I heard that it's the same for acadia, traverse, enclave ..
Is this true??
Thanks.
Yes it's the same. They all share the same engine and transmission
My friend, this fix solve P0011 and P0014? What code showed your scanner tool?
Hey Brett.. I just got code p0700 and the transmission didn't want to shift gears and after I cleared the code it started shifting again but I can tell that it's not shifting as smooth as before. Any advice on this? Thanks!!
Late reply, but it could be a shift solenoid or wiring... If not then the TCM itself. But since it started shifting again id suspect a shift solenoid
Hello! Seeing if you can help with your opinion on the below information please?
Do you think it could be her Timing Chain Stretch out? Of course, hoping its not.
These two codes are coming up (P0016 & P0776) on my daughters 2012 Buick Enclave.
The vehicle cranks up and stays on, but it won't move when my daughter puts it in drive and/or reverse.
Thank you for whatever information you can give!
The following shows for each code are as followed......
P0016 (18/21) Permanent
Crankshaft Position - Intake
Camshaft Position Not Plausible
P0776 (16/21) Pending
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Stuck Off
Im working on a friends car...he had 22 codes. A few of them pointed to the camshaft sensor. And cylinders 2-4-6 were misfiring. So My guess is it would be the Bank A cam sensor . However he has a 2010, and I can't seem to find the sensors. Is there a difference between 09 and 10? I've looked all over the internet
@Joecarpediem did you ever get this issue resolved? I have 8 codes and now my '09 Enclave wont start
Could you show the location off all 5 sensors? I have to replace 1, 3, and 5 on a 2011 Buick Enclave as soon as possible and it’s impossible to find anything about it
I'm not aware that there were 5 cam sensors only 4 camshaft sensors. 2 of them are behind all those pulleys on the passenger side of the car towards the front of the car. The other 2 are easily accessed like I showed in this video.
Are they all the same part number for all 4 sensors?
Hey man were you getting the P0017 code? Mine also says it’s the Bank 1 Position B sensor. Did this solve the problem? My engine runs perfect, no rattle or loss of power. I’m praying it’s just the sensor.
unfortunately not lended up having to replace my timing chain
@@brettbeez thanks for the reply. Was your car running odd or anything while the code was present? Was it showing any signs of timing chain failure?
@@atvbass10 no it just had check engine light on and i could hear the timing chain on start ups rattled a little bit.
@@brettbeez that's what mine is doing
@@brettbeez is it noticeable when it’s the timing chain? I’m getting a p0017 and p0008 I’m hoping it’s just these sensors but I heard a lot of people having a stretched timing chain
What code were you getting that lead you to replace the camshaft sensor? I'm getting a P0008 & P0017. Thanks
I'm getting the same, did fixing this help you or was it your timing chain, i pray mines okay and it's just the sensor
@@johnbartz1907 No it didn't fix it, the light went away for a few weeks but came back with same error code, I ordered the crank shaft position sensor hopefully replacing it will fix it. If it still gives a check engine light, I will have to take it in to a shop.
@@armandomrgl85 sorry to hear that, I've read on Buick forums if it isn't the sensor it's the timing chain getting stretched and it's like a 4000$ fix...
@@johnbartz1907 dang😮 I hope it's not the timing chain...
@@armandomrgl85 I hope neither of us need them lol, did you use an acdelco sensor?
Hey Brett. On my 08 enclave my driver side headlight flickers at start up and then cuts off, only the driver side. Have you experienced that?
Sounds like your bulb is burning out. You're gonna have to replace it
@@brettbeez ok cool, Thanks alot! It did turn purple before and then it turned back the regular color and now it just flickers.
@@marcusjackson8386 yeah it's burning out one of mine did that it turned purple and stayed that way. Check the connection 1st it could just be loose
@@brettbeez Ok appreciate that!!
my code is p0011 i know its bank 1 but how did you narrow it down to sensor B ?
I have a OBD2 scan tool that shows me the information that's how I was able to narrow it. You can get one for about $60 on Amazon.
Hey, where there any symptoms for the reason you replaced the sensor? My buick won't start now, it was losing power before it died. The codes that I found on this rig is p0016, 17, 18, 19. p0008, p0009. Just curious if all 4 sensors bad on my rig and maybe why it doesn't start.
Sounds like your timing chain is busted. Symptoms before that happening would be those codes with the check engine light on, plus on start up, you would hear a rattling sound. If your car is no longer starting, that might be the cause if the timing chain is no good.
@@brettbeez My car was rattling for a few seconds after startup. This went on for maybe 9 months before the car stopped working. It looks like a big task to replace the timing chains I have 260,000 miles on the 2009 enclave.
@RichardJohnson-up9js that's a long time for the rattling to go unchecked . Unfortunately, your engine might be locked up from a broken timing chain. I'm only guessing.
p0018 camshaft position sensor bank 1sensor A
P0019 camshaft position sensor bank 1 sensor B
????????????????
I see the four on bank one but how do I know the difference?
You showed B location
what one would be A
Is it the same for a 2012 buick enclave
Yes it will be
What was the code that you had? I’m getting a B0107 code for my 2012 Enclave
P0017 was my code
@@brettbeez thats the code im having did it work for ya
@@familyfunwallace787 no it didn't. My code still came back on. I'm assuming I need a new timing chain.
@@brettbeez did you try the crank sensor. That is apart of that code also.
@@Robertksinmi1992 yes i did i actually replaced that as well. It wasn't too bad to replace. I believe i made a video of that too that i need to post
I started to replace my "B" sensor and the rain started. I think I touched the wires on the top of it because it now works so no reason for replacing it now.
Nice! Just a loose connection
Are all 4 camshaft sensors the same part number or their diferent?
They are the same.
can you tell me or write on your heading the codes u had pls
P0017
Any help on code p0a14 code 9n a 2008 buick enclave plz plz some1 help cant seems to figure it out
Does sensor A and B uses the same part?
Yes they are all the same
@@brettbeez Thanks
Will this fix code p0017
Crankshaft Position
Camshaft Position
Correlation Bank I Sensor B
Replacing this sensor didn't solve the issue, It ended up needing the timing chain replaced. Which i ended up paying the Buick dealership to do. It cost $2000. But afterwards no more issues.
How many miles do you have on your 09?
Like 157k
@@brettbeez Ok cool I have the same color cxl but it's an 08 with 146k. I'm very happy to have found you channel.
@@marcusjackson8386 thanks i appreciate that. Just tryna help anyone who had the same problems but doesn't know where to start looking at.
What code did you get?
POO17
@@brettbeez any idea of what code p0a14 means cant seem to find any info on it
Do you know if that is the Sensor for bank 1? My code is P0008.
Yes this was for bank 1 sensor B. My code was P0017
@@brettbeez would that be the same for P0008?
@@daivu2010 yes I believe that covers both sensors you might have to swap both.
@@daivu2010 I have the same problem (P0008 code). Did you replace both sensors? If you did, did it fix the problem?
I had the same problem (P0008 code). I replaced both sensors on 11/08/2020. This did fix my problem. Started the vehicle and the code was gone. Put about 200 miles on it and still no problem. I had a lot of trouble getting the sensors out and had trouble getting one of the sensors back in. This was done on a 2009 GMC Acadia with 62,653 miles on it.
I have code P0018 and P0017 and my car sound kinda making a ugly sound will the sound go away if the codes are changed?
If it's making a bad sound the damage might already be done you might might to take it in to the dealer and get a diagnosis. You will most likely need a new timing chain
