The procedure for action after a 'chip light on' is in the engine MM, in the case of the Arriel 1D, I believe, it is in chapter 72-80-01, it is possible you may need to replace the associated packing before refitting the the detector. It is also possible that the filter may need to be inspected and replaced. A log book entry with a release is normally required. Some engines do not have self sealing mountings for the detectors and consequently there may be a spillage in which case a level check will need to be carried out.
I am aware that on remote operations that crews may be authorised to carry out certain maintenance procedures by the company quality department, please always err on the side of caution.
Stay safe
