Disclosed are a system and method for operating a vehicle kneeling system. A controller operates an actuator that compresses the vehicle suspension to lower the frame of the vehicle to a kneeled position. The controller verified that the transmission is set to park, and that a kneel switch is depressed, to operate the actuator. The controller continues to monitor these parameters, and when the controller detects loss of a signal, it deactivates the actuator which allows the suspension to return the vehicle to a ride height.
