The systems and methods for hang correction in a power management interface bus cause secondary master devices associated with the power management interface bus to utilize timers to determine if a master that won arbitration has asserted a clock signal within a predefined amount of time. If a timer for a secondary master device expires without a clock signal being asserted by the winning master, the secondary master will assume ownership of the bus and assert a clock signal. Priorities between secondary masters are created by using a master identification (MID) value assigned during bus enumeration to determine a timer value. By allowing the secondary masters to assume ownership after expiration of respective timers, bus ownership is maintained in the event that a winning master hangs and does not assert ownership.
