Thanks for showing this video because my enclave is throwing codes to and if you don't know these shops will take you fast by fixing things that don't need fixing.

Thanks for posting this video! Very helpful to get a visual of the location of this VVT Solenoid. Like you say, I could not find any info on the internet where exactly this is located so now I do. Again, thanks!!!

Had P0023 (2012 Enclave) (also had P2099, P0430) engine chugging slightly in OD. Finally SOLVED it by replacing VVT Solenoid (think problem was: I cracked solenoid plastic housing when replacing my alternator), But first replaced Camshaft Position Sensor (see steps below) but didn't get rid of codes so I replaced VVT solenoid after solenoid connector cracked off in my hands when trying to unplug connector to test. Also used liquid electrical tape to reseal connector wires as they were pulled back from connector and showing bare wire. Side note: Did all the following and didn't solve it...ugh: Replaced the Camshaft position sensor & bank 2 lower O2 Sensor... but code came back. 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 (2) 15mm engine mount bolts (holding rubber figure 8 mount). Slide rubber figure 8 mount out sideways. 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. 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 but I'd also remove radiator hose for alternator and plastic shroud for alternator.

There is a total of 4 of these VVT solenoids on this motor. 2 per each exhaust camshaft and 2 per each intake camshaft

Thanks bro very informative

Thank you so much for posting this. It is so helpful 😊

Do you fix the problem?? And how many selenoids do you end up replacing?

thank you bro .. looked everywhere for location .. even looked at Mitchell .no luck .. i changed timing chain and same probelm

Thank you. Been looking for this for a long time too.

Its also the dame for the Traverse. Just an fyi, that was the intake solenoid. The "sensor" directly below it is the exhaust solinoid.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO 👍👍👍

Did you fix the problem? I got p0019, p0300, p0302, p0304, p0306. I already change the cam, crank sensors, I got new coils, new spark plugs, and nothing.

I’m going to do this, I hope it works because otherwise I’m throwing $2500 at a timing chain job

Looks to be the same for 08 to 10 GMC Arcadia

Thanks for video - what were symptoms? My 12' Enclave is running rough when it goes into overdrive. Getting P0023 P02099 P0430 codes. Replaced the camshaft position sensor on bank 2 but still codes showing even after reset.

Did you had to jack the motor to remove the motor mount

Can u get to it by removing the tire?

I know you said this was your first video but could you post more like traction control lights keep coming on and stability lights. Do you know what it could be.

Is that bank 1?

What's the sensor order? Are they all the same?

Is that the bank one sensor b

Did that fix your problem?

Did it fix the code or are you doing timing chains

I have to replace the exact same part on my Enclave. Did you have to jack the motor to remove the mount?

What exactly did you have to pull out to get to this part? Thanks!

Hey, did the solenoid work ? I'm about to give up on my 09 Enclave. I put cam and crankshaft sensor on it. Has a p0008 and a P0017 code

Can you come replace mine😊

4 or 6 cylinder?

What was the code for this
