If the aircraft Halon system has been operated whilst the engine is above max continuous,then the engine case is inspected/washed with water,other than that (always assuming it was a spurious warning) no action required.

If a ground fire occurred & extinguishant has entered the core it could vary from a wash/inspection to engine removal for a shop visit;Although this would all be dependant upon the type of extinguishant employed.
