They all pertain to the throttle body. You may wind up replacing the unit and considering a relearn procedure.

Thanks for the response, by "unit" do you mean the throttle Position Sensor?

Unfortunately no !
I believe your vehicle has an Electronic Throttle Body , which have had their share of problems and the entire throttle body unit may need to be replaced.

P2135 : I solved it on my truck.
My conclusion is that P2135 and other codes are a consequence of other small defects.
Advice: buy a small 70$ pocket scanner to have it in the truck and scan when needed
First, you need to answer yourself to these questions:
- are spark plugs in good condition? - if not, replace them with genuine Motorcraft; are the contacts ok?
- are the wires going to spark plugs in good condition? - if not, replace them with Motorcraft
- are contacts with 6 coils box in good condition? - check and clean them
- from spark plugs to coil box, are the wires crossing each other ? if yes, re-arrange each wire from its spark plug to its coil through a NORMAL path, not allowing to cross each other ! [that's because each wire create an electro-magnetically field. If these fields are crossing each other, they will send fake signal to PCM !] Of course, you need to maintain the correct number of cylinders when connecting wires.
- are the wires going to oxygen sensors in good condition and connections are ok?
- are all the wires going to TPS and Throttle body in good condition and not fried? are all the connectors ok?
- is it throttle body clean ? if not, you need to remove inside the carbon excess with a CRC spray for electric parts and a thin rag [see helpful videos
]
- is it air filter clean? if no, replace it
- do you have any air leaks on the path to Throttle body? - if yes, must be eliminated
- is your MAF sensor clean? => I think not. You need to clean it with a CRC spray for electric parts. First, disconnect battery at minus pole, in order to be safe and to erase the codes. Then, you need to take out the tube with MAF. Separately, spray on MAF 2-3 times, without touching it. Let it dry for 10 min. Then, put them back on truck and connect battery. See this helpful video :

So, any miss function on these paths may conduct to a fake signal to PCM.
PCM will convert bad electrical signal received to a bad code.

Additional: is your PCM re-flashed with latest software issued by Ford? - if not, go to dealer and do it

You may note: if all above conditions are achieved and P2135 was not solved, then you need to take in consideration, using Motorcraft parts :
- change TPS and then test the truck
- then change full Throttle body and then test the truck
- at least, change PCM
Hope it was helpful. K.
