And active handling also ties the G and yaw sensor in for even more restriction.
As stated above, TM limits actual output, and could care less if the tires are spinning, sticking or if you are sliding backward into a ditch.

Torque Management can only be disabled by reprogramming the ECU (for example, with HPTuners, LS2Edit, Predator, etc). TC and AH can be disabled completely by holding down the center console button for >5 seconds. It will beep and indicate that Traction Control and Active Handling are OFF on the DIC.
If you just push it once, you're only disabling Traction Control - not Active Handling.
