Right - you guys have the older FTM system which compares wheel rotation speeds. But if he has "re-calibrated the tires" which I interpret as initializing the system as per the manual, wouldn't that tell the computer that the pressures are OK? If so, then a subsequent warning should indicate either that another tire is low, the original offender has leaked even more air, a bad sensor, or someone is surreptitiously adding air to one or more of his tires!

Either way, he needs to get a good air pressure gauge and check them the old fashioned way.
