2017 Altima with Dtc codes P015A , P015B , P014C?
What to check next
Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.
Record the remaining symptoms, current code status and operating conditions for the fuel-trim readings, then have the results evaluated using the Nissan diagnostic procedure. Confirm which upstream sensor was installed and whether the original concern remains. The reported improvement does not isolate which of the two actions helped. Continued driving or replacing the mass-airflow sensor should not be presented as a confirmed solution to the remaining concern.

Can I ask if the engine has an exhaust leak? This is the #1 problem that will cause these codes.
P015A - O2 sensor delayed response, rich to lean, Bank 1 Sensor 1
P015B - O2 sensor delayed response, lean to rich, Bank 1 Sensor 1
P014C - O2 sensor delayed response, Bank 1 Sensor 1
Can you please upload a short video of the engine idling (cold) from under the hood, that way I can tell for sure what is going on.
These problems can cause the issue as well
1. vacuum leaks
2. dirty MAF sensor
3. fuel pressure too high
4. leaking injector
5. intake duct leak
6. misfire condition
Also, the primary oxygen sensor can be bad as well if everything else checks out. I would remove the spark plugs for inspection and upload an image of them for each cylinder. That was we can see if the engine is having an issue. Let us know how it goes.
The permanent dtc codes went away quickly but my Short Term Fuel Trim at idle is hovering around (-12% to -15%)
Discussion summary
2017 Altima with Dtc codes P015A , P015B , P014C?
The owner of a 2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 reported codes P015A, P015B and P014C. After cleaning the mass-airflow sensor and replacing the upstream sensor, the owner said the permanent codes disappeared. Short-term fuel trim at idle was still reported at approximately minus twelve to minus fifteen percent.
Reported outcome: The owner reported that the codes disappeared, but the fuel-trim concern remained unresolved in the discussion.
No follow-up readings, exhaust-leak test or completed diagnostic report were supplied. The original code descriptions and the prediction that the readings would normalize were not independently verified.
