I haven't seen a lot of bad o2 sensors, but when I have seen them throw a code for low voltage, the pcm makes a faux narrowband signal. 450mv iirc, so it won't affect the fuel trims at all.

Yes. Not necessarily bad Maf, but the Maf not metering the air coming into the engine correctly. Basically, all air that enters your motor needs to go through the maf sensor. The sensor calculates the engines airflow, and fueling is based off of it. I'm sure someone else can describe it better than me though.
