If there is a bond set on the warrant, if you post the bond amount, you will immediately be let out. If no bond amount is set on the warrant then you will be taken before a judge once you are in custody and a bond amount will be set.
A violation of the deferred sentence sometimes just leads to the conviction entering (a pretty serious sanction) and then being placed on probation with similar terms. It would be unusual for you to get the 1-3 years that was deferred.
