What does the 2011 BMW X5 Xdrive 35i code 28A0 mean?

My engine light suddenly illuminated yesterday in my 2011 BMWX5 XDrive 35i, accompanied by a “code 280A.” I’m unsure what this fault code means, and I’m having difficulty finding it in the owner’s manual. Can you tell me what the 2011 BMW X5 Xdrive 35i code 28A0 means?

Fault codes are often difficult to understand and diagnose! The
2011 BMW X5 XDrive 35i
code 28A0 indicates that your intake pressure is too high, which is why your engine light has also come on.
There may be something wrong with your intake pressure, or there could also be something wrong with the sensor that set off the fault code in the first place.
The best way to diagnose the root of the fault code is to bring your BMW X5 to a trusted mechanic or a BMW dealership. They’ll be able to correctly diagnose the cause of your fault code and come up with solutions.
