Your car most probably didn't pull all those codes. Autozones scanners sometimes mess up, and those are the codes from different cars that they have scanned before you. I know this because this happened to me one time at Autozone. The worker then reset their scanner, and redid it, and all those codes went away.
What most probably happened is this, and the worker must have not known this potential problem.
Either have someone else at Autozone scan it for you, or go to a different Autozone.

could be your computer throwing false codes. My grandmother was trying to smog her van, but CL light was on. Well after the stealership got her for like $3000+ on a whole top end rebuild (cause the codes were in regards to everything being wrong on top, and just like you car ran fine), my buddy found out it was the ECU! They happened to have one at his shop and he swapped it and the light never came back on (its been about a year and a half now) Find someone with your car and swap ECU's and see what happens.

I would first get a copy of Lexus service records then perform whatever service is lacking... i.e. tune up, time belt, etc. Next, get a oil change at a local Japanese specialist and ask them to pull the codes. Autozone or Checkers will only get you so far. Your car retailed for 40k plus!
