as lnwlf said - make sure there's coolant in the radiator, not just the overflow.
It's possible there's a head gasket leak or similar that is blowing air into the radiator - and therefore filling the overflow tank... but at the same time, not pulling fluid back into the radiator when it cools off - a cracked radiator (bad seal) could do this before it shows up as a leak too.
Otherwise, bad sensor.

If the fluid level drops in the future then you have a leak somewhere.
