96 self test

Hey fellas, could someone please tell me how to do a self diagnostic test on my '96 Eddie Bauer? I did a search & a lot about the codes but nothing on how to do the actual test. I got a code reader for my '89 but my '96 is a OBD-II, I think. I just recently got the truck & the EGR tube was broke, so I fixed it. The CEL, ABS, & BRAKE lights are all still on. Every once in a while the truck will buck real hard while going down the road. It's a 4x4 302cid with 194,000 miles.

You have to use a OBD-II scanner to run the self-test/read the codes.
