The crew levelled off at 15,000 feet, reduced the right hand engine to idle thrust while working the related checklist which resulted in the warnings to cease. The crew kept the engine at idle thrust, completed the checklists and returned to Fort Lauderdale for a safe landing. The aircraft stopped on the runway for an inspection by emergency services, the crew shut the #2 engine down. The aircraft subsequently was towed to the apron due to hot brakes.
