Are you using the LogFactory?

If it was only an invalid checksum value then I think you would see an entry
in the logs; something like:

Invalid message: Expected CheckSum=242, Recieved CheckSum=175

For it to be a valid FIX message it must have a correctly formatted
BeginString as the first field, a BodyLength as the second Field and a
Checksum as the last field. The BodyLength should be the number of bytes
from the end of the BodyLength field to the beginning of the Checksum field.

Is it possible to see the message you are attempting to send?
