P1306 · FordKickdown Relay Pull In Circuit Fault

P1306 on Ford vehicles means the powertrain control module (PCM) commanded the kickdown relay to pull in but did not see the expected voltage change on the relay's pull-in circuit, so it flagged the circuit as faulty. The kickdown relay is used to signal a downshift request, typically for passing gear or wide-open-throttle kickdown, and the PCM monitors the relay coil and driver circuit for opens, shorts, or a relay that fails to energize.
