You need to explain to the court that you misunderstood the terms of your probation. If you were to report you did not know. Also, make sure that you have been properly credited with the payment of your fine (bring proof of payment with you) and that your class certificate of completion is presented to the court.
Since a warrant has been issued, you may want to consider having an attorney represent you on this. They will have contacts within the local court system and can use them to your best advantage.
