Several conditions can activate "torque control". Only one is wheel spin. The other is dynamic stabilty control which is triggered by the lateral G-sensor ("yaw" sensor) in the centre of the car, under the cup-holder behind the gear stick.
Does this occur with steering lock on ?
If so, the electronic nannies are thinking that you are about to provoke a rear-axle slide and invokes "torque control".
If not, then the rear wheel speed sensors have detected a rotational speed difference between at least 1 rear wheel and 1 front wheel (the speeds only need to be different by >3% or so).
Have you recently changed tyres and installed different sizes to OEM? If so, the diameters might be right on the margin that the stability control can tolerate and literally the slightest wheel spin trigger's intervention.
Search the forum for ways to install a switch that turns this feature off - look for "yaw sensor switch" - there are several articles and the most recent one I saw was a great write-up with lots of photo's.
There are a couple of things for you to consider.
