Default Service engine light. New stang

Lookin at this badass stang. Hes got almost full bolt-ons with 46xxx miles. The service engine light is on along with the abs light. I asked him about both and he told me the abs light is on cause he broke it when he was putting on his tires on purpose cause he says he hates abs....?

The service engine light is on because the oxygen signal thing is not working? He told me the code but it all i remember is it started with P. He has a shorty x pipe with the MIL eliminators but yea. Just wondering if anyone knows what this could be or if that sounded right. He seems pretty honest and really smart about cars. It ran fine and was pretty sick.

I wouldn't buy a car with the SEL on, nor would I sell one either.

My CEL and ABS are both on. I have a code that's been in there for over a year. Car runs like a raped ape. Who cares?

I ran my car for like 4 months with my cel on when I put swapped out my cats for the o/r pipes. Not every set of those mil eliminators work either, from what i've read.
