Any idea what these symptoms could indicate? V70-XC70 2001

Checking out an 'as-is' FSBO 2001 V70, 77k - but I'm a 240 guy and know little about these cars. Anyone want to point me in the right direction, as far as diagnosing these symptoms?

First, the check engine light is on.

Second, it runs in a kind of winter mode (low gear) until it gets up to speed; at regular speed it drives very nicely.

Third, the electronic panel on the driver's door doesn't work so you can't control the window/door locks from the driver door panel.

I'll probably end up doing a pre-purchase inspection from the dealership or indie Volvo mechanic, but I'd love your thoughts first. Thanks!
