Well either the pedal will with constant pressure keep going down.......that is if all your wheel cylinders and the piston seals in your calipers are good....and there are no fluid leaks Or the pedal will be rock hard and no matter how hard you step on it, it won't push the fluid. Most times in my case it was the former, not the latter one.
