    Hello.

    My 355 have a lot of problems.

    - The light of Airbag is ON (17).

    - The light of suspension is ON (19)

    - Some times, the car show "slow down" (16) but I change the gear and the message disappears

    - The system of AC dont work (neither hot nor cold)

    - The door of gas tank dont work well.

    Please, I need your help for repair the car.

    If you see well, I can open a different theme for everything ...

    I need to buy a reader OBD??

    Air bag light is very common- lots of times if it reads bad resistance on one of the bags it will come on and stays on. You may be able to reset with a SD1/2 diagnastic tool and it may stay cleared.

    Suspension light is common- usually a bad actuator. Pull them all off the tops of the shocks, flip them over and see if the all turn when you turn the key on and off.

    The air conditioning hot and cold. You don't have the STOP button pushed do you?

    Slow down light only over heated catalytic converters or a defective part in that system. Lots of threads on this if you search.

    Gas lid popper being sticky is also super common issue. Try lubing it up with WD-40. If that don't work there is a good thread on tearing the whole thing down in the 355 DYI thread.

    Just take on one thing at a time and you'll get them solved. Just have fun with it and don't let all the little things feel like they are piling up on you.

    Sounds like someone who drove his car for a long time and ignored a lot of things. Wanna bet the last service was a decade ago.

    At least the previous owner didn't pull out all the bulbs on the dash! I had some of these issues. Take them one by one.

    SDL- most likely it is a thermocouple or one of the ECU's. there are three of each. One for each CAT and one on the bypass.

    Lots of good threads on each of these topics and lots of good people here to help.

    I have the KIWI OBD2 reader and the Dash Command App. You need a code reader.

    When I got my 355 someone had nicely trimmed up some black tape and put it over the air bag light. I drove it for at least two months before I even realized it was tape covering a light.

    For sure. All the problems I have had with my car have been easy fixes once I did some research. I just had a failed header and now that I have removed both I realized I over analyzed the repair. It's a car bro. Treat it like one.

    Well.

    First. I need a lector OBD, but, Which model is right ?? SD-1 is only for Airbag or is OBD??

    Then, I will begin by the light of the airbag.

    The airbag light needs to be reset using an SD. I have had it done twice at no
    charge.
