Check Control Inactive?

Hmmm,

I've had this prob ever since I got the car. whenever I start up or press the "Check" button on the obc...I'm greeted with "Check control inact...see owners manual"

I've tried soft resetting the obc, disconnecting the battery for 24 hours, tried swapping for another unit and reactivating check control. Nothing seems to work .

Only thing I can think of is maybe something has been replaced on the car that is not check compatible, could that cause this?

Thanks
