The steering is active, so it’s uses input from the speed sensor. If the speedometer fails to work it will stop the power assist steering. You car being an import will likely have a speed converter behind the dash, loose connection here on this circuit will be the cause. You tapping probably remade the connection. Also the speed sensor on the gearbox can pop out the end, be loose, simply slowly down and speeding back up it can kick back to life.

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how to test a speedo sensor?
My speedo takes its time to start working correctly ever since i changed the dust cluster to a UK one.
Really starting to p*** me off now.
I changed the battery as it seemed power related.
I've had it out to look at the soldering.
I can't work it out.
Someone must have had this issue and fixed it!!!!!!
Cheers
