It also thinks there is a puncture if there is a difference in pressure. Did they change the pressure or any tyres?

Mine has gone off approx once a month for the past 5 months. Each time, it was a result of low pressure in one of the tires. Finally last month, I had the dealer check again after another warning and they discovered a small nail in the rear tire. Had it patched and reset the FTM and everything has been fine. Of course, since I'm getting new tires installed, we'll see if the FTM continues to go off.
