Would a bad PCV valve throw a CEL?

After noticing that I go through oil more frequently with no leaks or obvious burning, I decided it was time to change the PCV valve.

I was just wondering if a plugged one would trigger a CEL somehow because it was bad?

I do have a CEL, but its for a bad #1 speed sensor that I have to check out and/or replace.
 
Some cars will, but i don't think the yotas will. I've only seen a PCV valve mentioned once in a diagnostic flow chart, and that was on a Ford. Its not a bad idea to change it though.
