A disclosed method for restoring bus functionality includes detecting, by an automatic bus recovery block, that at least one target device on a bus pulls at least one line of the bus to a low level. The method also includes initiating, by the automatic bus recovery block, a timer to time a duration of the low level of the line. Additionally, the method includes detecting, by the automatic bus recovery block, that the duration of the low level of the line exceeds a predetermined time limit. Furthermore, the method includes alerting, by the automatic bus recovery block, a controller device on the bus that the duration of the low level exceeds the predetermined time limit to reset the line of the bus to a high level.
