Section 10.9
High Altitude Operation
The engine will reduce horsepower as a function of altitude to protect critical engine components. Power reduction starts at approximately 8700 ft on power ratings greater than 500 hp. Altitude is determined by barometric pressure. A faulty barometric pressure sensor could start a premature power reduction. Check the sensor.

If your vehicle is operating above sea level, a loss of power will be encountered, no further troubleshooting is required.
If your vehicle is operating at or below sea level and there is a lack of power, refer to "10.10 Power Verification With Chassis Dynamometer" .
