Narrative:

Received 'engine 2 oil temperature 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 temperature out of range fault and suspect the probable cause was an engine 2 oil temperature sensor.
