Buick Enclave ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Buick Enclave ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Enclave. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Buick Enclave ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Enclave, your ABS loses the input it needs. On wet, icy, or gravel road surfaces, the difference between a controlled stop and a skid can come down to whether your Buick Enclave wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Buick Enclave

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Buick Enclave is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Enclave. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Enclave ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Buick Enclave vehicles, this same data feeds the traction control system, electronic stability control, and electronic brake force distribution, making a functioning wheel speed sensor critical to the safe operation of multiple Enclave systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Buick Enclave

• ABS warning light on your Buick Enclave dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Enclave ABS light
• ABS activating on your Buick Enclave during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Enclave, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Buick Enclave reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Buick Enclave ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Buick Enclave

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Buick Enclave. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Enclave vehicles and many trucks still in service. Active Hall-effect sensors require a small power supply and output a clean digital signal, offering greater accuracy at very low speeds. Active sensors are standard on most Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Enclave traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Buick Enclave ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Buick Enclave wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Enclave ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Buick Enclave. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Buick Enclave through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Enclave.

Frequently Asked Questions - Buick Enclave ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Buick Enclave with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Buick Enclave with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Enclave will be completely disabled. On icy or wet American roads, this significantly increases stopping distances and the risk of losing steering control during hard braking on your Buick Enclave. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Buick Enclave?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Buick Enclave year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Buick Enclave, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Enclave to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Buick Enclave at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Buick Enclave are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Enclave has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Buick Enclave sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
