Narrative:
During climb phase #2 engine overheat light illuminated, thrust lever retarded to idle, light remained illuminated, returned to landing. Emergency declared, precautionary 1-ENG landing accomplished. After landing #2 engine shut down. Emergency crew verified condition of aircraft, so I taxied to gate and deplaned passenger. The 'engine overheat' checklist was not accomplished completely because no other engine indications were noted to be abnormal. Engine shut down without fire bottle being deployed. Later maintenance found overheat loop fault and dispatched aircraft per MEL.
