Pecan, Caraya illinoinensis, walnut family ( Juglandaceae )
is not reported to contain iodine:

It could contain it at most as micronutrient.
The Genus Juglans ( walnut ) has 21 different species, best known the Persian walnut, Juglans regia with 3 micrograms iodine in 100g nuts.
The black walnut, Juglans nigra has a significant content of iodine, but a precise amount is not to find.

Fazit:
Both trees are members of the same family, so they are related.
Iodine is to find in walnuts.
