Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
The Xiaomi scooter shows Error 10: the handlebar dashboard and the controller cannot talk to each other. Do not ride it; switch it off, think about whether it got wet and look for a damaged or loose cable from the handlebar, without taking anything apart.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- For the 6 Pro, Xiaomi says riding is not available with Error 10. The controller sits next to the lithium battery inside the deck: do not open the housing or unplug internal cables.

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Communication cable test
What they doXiaomi authorized service checks the cable between dashboard and controller and its connectors, with the scooter opened and disconnected.
They must show youthe damaged cable or connector, or proof it is fine.

Dashboard versus controller
What they doIf the cable is fine, the technician tries another dashboard before touching the controller, as Xiaomi lays out.
They must show youthat the error clears with the replaced part.
In writingthe part replaced, why, and the final function test.

Error details in the app
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- connect the scooter to the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app; Xiaomi says the error shows on the home page and tapping it opens the detailed description.
- Result that matters:
- that the app confirms Error 10 and not a similar number.
- If the app shows the same code:
- move on to the visual cable check.
- If it shows another code or none:
- note the one it shows, because it changes the diagnosis.
- Evidence to keep:
- an app screenshot with the code, the date and the exact scooter model.

Visible cable between handlebar and stem
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you, with the scooter off.
- How:
- look at the stretch of cable you can see at the handlebar and the folding area, without removing covers or screws.
- Result that matters:
- a cut sleeve, a crushed cable or a visible connector out of place.
- If you see damage:
- it confirms the most likely cause per Xiaomi; do not reconnect or repair it yourself.
- If the visible cable is intact:
- an internal fault is still possible; go to service.
- Evidence to keep:
- photos of the cable and the folding point.

Recent exposure to water
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- think back to whether the scooter was ridden in rain, through puddles or hosed down before the error.
- Result that matters:
- whether Error 10 started right after it got wet.
- If it lines up with water:
- tell the service, because Xiaomi names water as a cause and it changes what they check first.
- If there was no water:
- suspicion moves to the cable or the circuits.
- Evidence to keep:
- date and conditions of the last wet ride or wash.

What it means
In Xiaomi's tables for the Electric Scooter 6 Pro and the 5 Plus, code 10 is a communication failure between the dashboard (instrument) and the controller. Xiaomi links it to damaged communication lines, water ingress or poor contact in the main wiring harness. The official fix goes in order: cable, dashboard circuit, then controller circuit, so the code does not tell which of the three is at fault. For the 6 Pro, Xiaomi marks riding as not available with this code.
