Stuck, or bad sensor or maybe electrical problem of some form could cause that.

Just like the idiot light on the gas gauge. If the tank/canister never empties, the light never comes on, but you don't know if it works either.

So whatever clears that test is never occurring, but that is not sufficient for it to say there is a problem and cause a CEL.
