Xiaomi Error 11 on electric scooter: controller overcurrent protection
Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
Xiaomi Error 11 is the controller's overcurrent protection. Switch the scooter off and on again, as Xiaomi asks for the 6 Pro. If the code comes back, do not ride: the other checks belong to the service centre.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- If Error 11 returns after the restart, do not ride: Xiaomi marks this code as not rideable on the 6 Pro. The controller sits next to the lithium battery; do not open the deck.
Safe checks you can perform
- Scooter restart
- Error details in the app
- Exposure to water

- Do not attempt this professional task: Controller and motor harness inspection
- Do not attempt this professional task: Controller replacement if sampling fails
What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
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.
Controller and motor harness inspection
What they doAuthorized service opens the deck, looks for water in the controller and checks the harness to the motor.
They must show youthe moisture or damaged cable found.
In writingthe finding and the part replaced (harness or controller).
Controller replacement if sampling fails
What they doWith no water and no damaged cable, the technician puts the fault down to the current sampling circuit and replaces the controller.
They must show youthat the error stays with a good harness.
In writingthe new controller's reference and the function test.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

Scooter restart
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- switch the scooter off, wait a few seconds and switch it on while standing still, without throttle, as Xiaomi's 6 Pro table says.
- Result that matters:
- whether Error 11 shows again at power on.
- If it does not:
- it was a one-off fault; watch for repeats and note when.
- If it does:
- it confirms it needs checking; do not ride.
- Evidence to keep:
- how many times it appeared and when (start, hill, braking).

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 11 and not a similar number.
- If the app shows the same code:
- keep the screenshot for the service centre.
- 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.

Exposure to water
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- think about whether the scooter was out in rain, crossed puddles or was hosed down before the error.
- Result that matters:
- whether water and Error 11 are linked.
- If they are:
- tell the service, because Xiaomi replaces the controller when water got in.
- If not:
- the technician will focus on the motor harness and the sampling circuit.
- Evidence to keep:
- the date of the last wet ride.

What it means
Xiaomi defines code 11 as controller overcurrent protection, caused by the controller's ADC sampling or a hardware problem. The controller cuts out to protect itself when the current it measures towards the motor does not add up. The 6 Pro table suggests a restart, then checking for water in the controller, the motor wiring harness and the current sampling circuit. The code does not separate a damaged motor cable from a faulty controller; on the 6 Pro riding is not available with it.
