Has driven fine until today. Drives fine on flat surface but the RPM'S go up and loses power when going up incline or hills and engine light on?

Does the engine sounds like it's trying and the transmission is slipping or? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Lets go over these guides so you can get the codes and report back.
