Simple. Show up and "hope" they don't arrest you. Or you can hire a lawyer, who can do it without you being present.

Generally, in a criminal case you just have to show up and ask them to recall the warrant. Without an attorney you have to be prepared for the court to order bail and remand you until you pay bail.

You can file a Motion to Quash but only the Judge may recall a bench warrant.

The best course of action would be to appear on the warrant so you can be arraigned. Then you can explain to the judge why it should be quashed or what your good reason was for not appearing.
