Yes. Go before the judge and tell him/her that you have resolve all of all the terms of your probation and most likely s/he will recall the warrant. Still, keep in mind that there is a small chance that the judge could have you arrested.
Re: warrent issue
It's the only way. Go the the court clerk and request they send your file to the judge, then go make that appearance and explain why you screwed up and allowed the warrant to issue. No bets on what the judge will do; and their is a risk of your arrest at the clerk's office, but not likely since you're coming in voluntarily to 'deal' with it. There's also the risk of arrest and jail as the penalty for the FTA and warrant; that's part of what you're there to resolve. Consider taking an attorney, to minimize the penalties and risks - that's what we get paid for. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so, if the case is in SoCal.
Re: warrent issue
If this is a traffic infraction matter, sometimes you can resolve the warrant by calling the clerk and making sure they verify that you paid the fines. Generally, however, a warrant requires your showing up in front of the judge where you can explain yourself and beg for forgiveness. In bench warrant situations you simply show up to court first thing in the morning on any day and talk to the clerk who will direct you to appropriate courtroom.
Hope this helps.
