May I ask why would you buy a vehicle in this state without checking what is wrong? Only a mechanic or advance DIYer should make such purchase. Please return your vehicle as soon as possible.
If on the other hand you are trying other help a family member, all those lights are yelling read the engine error code,
Years ago I got an oil change at one of those quickie joints.
Of course they want to sell you an air filter so while they're under the hood they look at it, (without permission).
I declined but on the way home my dash lit up like the Christmas tree above.
I discovered that in looking at my air filter they inadvertently disconnected a vacuum hose at the rear of the filter.
Reconnected the hose and all was good.

Hmm , interesting how on the Lexus one problem triggers all kinda lights. Did you have any codes?
Fixed it before I checked for codes.
There are codes for specific issues but the Christmas tree dash is Lexus's way of just throwing up its hands and saying, 'Really?'.
