Your engine produces torque(turning power) and revs, and these are related. You can't get more than a certain amount of torque out of the engine at a given number of revs. If you hit a slope in the wrong gear/at the wrong speed, then forcing the car forward will require more torque than the engine can deliver, and it will stall. It's very much like trying to ride a bike uphill in the wrong gear.

What does it mean when your car cuts out going up hill?

The check engine light can illuminate for various reasons, such as issues with the engine, transmission, or emissions system.

These faults can disrupt the engine's performance, leading to a loss of power and eventual stalling. It's essential to diagnose the underlying issue promptly to avoid further damage.
