A cockpit check on the engine firewire system is a
- continuity check.
- calibration check.
- function check.
Explanation from PART66Online
The flight-deck test of an engine firewire loop is a continuity check - it confirms the continuous loop is electrically intact end-to-end and the warning circuit functions, by simulating a signal around the loop. It is not a calibration of trip temperature, which is a workshop/ground task, so continuity is what the cockpit check verifies.

it should be continuity check, because by that test we check the continuinty of the firewire.

Confirmed Continuity check. It checks for any breakage in the engine fire detector elements.
