In scantool, goto the OBD II tab, goto the SRT subtab, and there you will see all 11 monitors...
Not Supported = monitors not supported by the PCM (i.e. PCM's vehicle came without that equipment);
Not Ready = monitors that have not yet run;
Ready = monitors that have run (they may have passed or failed);
each monitor requires a set of DTC's to be tested for, those DTC's are listed in the Service Manual and are specific to year/model/vehicle.

C0265 would be shown under the DTC subtab...
C0265 is a Chassis/BCM code... that should not prevent you from passing the emissions test.
If your vehicle is prior to 2000, then you are allowed to have upto two Not-Ready monitors; if 2000 or later then only one is allowed.
Not-Supported monitors are not tested because the vehicle does not have the emissions equipment for those monitors.
Is the Check Engine Light on...?
Or is the Service Vehicle light on (C0265)...?
There is a big difference and the smog technician should know the difference.
For example, sometimes if you forget to turn off traction control on a Camaro/Firebird/Corvette, during the roller test the ABS will throw some DTC's (because the front wheels are stationary and the rear wheels are driving at 30 mph...) this causes the SVS light to turn on... if the tech mentions this just remind him that it is the ABS and not the engine that threw the DTC (Service Vehicle vs Check Engine).
