Shorting scl and sda lines in the board

Hi,

I am working on tv board which has a i2c controller connected to a eeprom slave.
we are trying to check the i2c controller behavior,when SCL and SDA line are shorted using any metal device.

The behavior i observed is that i am getting a busy status even when both signal are high.Because of this unable to do another transaction.
But above thing can be recovered using soft reset.

The busy signal even arises during transactions with slave, so the software is not able to predict the controller behaviour during shorting.

Is there anyway we can determine the shorting of SCL and SDA line ?

Regards,
Eilu
