Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
Error 14 on a Xiaomi scooter: at power on, the throttle was not at rest. Let go of the throttle fully, check nothing blocks it or rubs the grip, then switch off and on without touching it. If it stays, Xiaomi says to take it to the service centre.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Do not try to ride by forcing the throttle with Error 14: Xiaomi marks the code as not rideable on the 6 Pro. Do not unplug the front connector, because Xiaomi names that as a cause of broken wires.
Safe checks you can perform
- Power on with the throttle released
- Throttle return and gap to the grip
- Firmware update and factory reset
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Harness and dashboard input check

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.
Harness and dashboard input check
What they doIf the throttle is fine, the technician checks the cable to the dashboard and replaces the dashboard if needed.

Throttle replacement

They must show youthe damaged throttle or the error reproduced with the original.

- 1
Power on with the throttle released
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- switch the scooter off, make sure you are not touching the throttle and switch it on with your hands off the handlebar.
- Result that matters:
- whether Error 14 shows again.
- If it does not:
- touching the throttle at power on caused it; no repair needed.
- If it shows again:
- check that the throttle returns to rest.
- Evidence to keep:
- note whether the error appears every time or only sometimes.

Throttle return and gap to the grip
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you, with the scooter off.
- How:
- press and release the throttle several times; check for dirt or objects slowing it and that there is a gap between throttle and grip, as Xiaomi says for the 4 Pro.
- Result that matters:
- that it springs fully back to rest by itself.
- If it rubs the grip:
- move the grip slightly away and power on again.
- If it returns well and the error stays:
- a mechanical jam is ruled out; the fault is in the sensor, cable or dashboard.
- Evidence to keep:
- a short video pressing and releasing the throttle.

Firmware update and factory reset
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you, with enough battery charge.
- How:
- in Mi Home, open the scooter card, the three dot menu and check for firmware updates. As a last resort Xiaomi suggests restoring factory settings, which erases your settings.
- Result that matters:
- whether the error clears after the update or reset.
- If it clears:
- it was a software glitch.
- If not:
- the throttle still needs checking at the service centre.
- Evidence to keep:
- firmware version before and after.

What it means
Xiaomi defines code 14 as a throttle fault: it does not return to its original position at startup. The dashboard reads the throttle sensor at power on and, if it is not at rest, blocks drive. Causes include pressing the throttle while switching on, something jamming it, a sensor wire broken after the front connector was removed, or the dashboard's input circuit. So the code does not prove the throttle is broken; on the 4 Pro page Xiaomi also pairs it with one long and four short beeps.
