2008 Buick Enclave Steering Wheel Speed Sensor

You can turn the steering wheel to the straight forward position and lock it in place, remove the left front tire/wheel assembly, disengage the intermediate Steering Shaft boot from the steering gear and the intermediate steering shaft upper seal, remove the intermediate steering shaft bolt and separate the intermediate steering shaft from the steering gear, and then remove the intermediate steering shaft boot.

You need to disconnect any electrical connectors as needed, and then squeeze the plastic retaining tabs on the supplemental inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil to release and disengage the Steering Angle Sensor.

You need to inspect the capsules on the Steering Column bracket assembly, verify that the capsules are seated securely in the bracket slots and inspect the capsules for any loose conditions when pushed or pulled by hand, and then inspect the jacket assembly for collapse by measuring the distance from the lower edge of the upper jacket to a defined point on the lower jacket.
