The engine works hard and produces a lot more heat than when the car is driven on a leveled road. The car is usually driven slower on the uphill and there isn't as much air cooling the radiator.

But the main reason it overheats is that the cooling system is malfunctioning.

Why would your car overheat and lose power when you turn on the heat?

Turning the heat on would actually lower the engine temperature. It's a well known trick if your car starts to overheat. Having the A/C on causes a power loss to operate the compressor, which would also cause engine temperature to go up due to the hot air from the condensor going through the radiator.

I would start by going into your fuse panal, and unplugging the fuse for your ABS system. This should disable your traction control.
