Received 'ENG 2 OIL TEMP HI' in descent. Temperature started in the yellow then jumped to the red range. Temperature top [at] 225 degrees. Temperature was erratic going from 125-225 degrees. Operated and shutdown engine per QRH. Maintenance verified a previous OIL TEMP OUT OF RANGE fault and suspect the PROBABLE CAUSE was an ENG 2 OIL TEMP SENSOR.
An MD-10 flight crew shut down the right engine in response to a high oil temperature warning. Maintenance determined a faulty temperature sensor was responsible.
